FirstBarkJess took wonderful care of my Chihuahua Pepe for two weeks. He's feisty and needs medication and she handled it all like a champ. There's no one that I would trust him with more!

About Big Hair Dog Training Services
Dog training and boarding services. Healthy conditioning for all breeds including dogs with bite histories, dog aggression, leash reactivity and/or stranger danger. Most problematic behaviors stem from fear and being out of practice. This can often lead owners to practice avoidance and unintentionally cater to their dog’s fears and insecurities. Practicing avoidance often makes a dog’s world smaller and subsequently fears even bigger. It’s never too late to address your dog’s training needs! The goal of training is to always build confidence and better prepared you and your dog for real world practice.

We left our two small dogs with Jess for a week and they had a great time and she provided regular updates and pictures. We have one crazy pug puppy and one chihuahua mix grumpy old rescue. Both of them were handled as necessary and had no issues while there.
Jessica is one of the only people I trust to watch my three dogs. She knows how to handle all types of dogs.
I have known Jessica for almost 30 years now, and she has always had SO MUCH love for animals! There is nobody I would trust more than her with my precious furballs! The world needs more people like her! 🥰
Jessica is the only person I feel sucure leaving my dogs with. She is an amazing loving person who will make you and your dog feel more than comfortable while in her care. My dogs also enjoyed spending a few days with her and the other dogs that where also there romping around in the yard enjoying the outdoors socializing and playing. Big Hair Pet Care is wonderful I recommend to ALL!
