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.

I had the pleasure of adopting two dogs from Jessica and recently used her boarding services when I went on vacation. Although I knew Nova would be cared for like the angel she is..Jessica sent me daily pictures and updates on how my baby was. Nova had her own room, and a great sleeping area. Jessica is extremely experienced and held play sessions for Nova and I felt like she was on vacation just as much as I was! I will continue to use Big Hairs services since its always been the best choice! Thank you so much for all that you do.

Jessica is brilliant at what she does! I adopted my dog, Clutch, from her 3 years ago, and recently brought him for a month of "boot camp" after a big move and before my baby boy arrived. Clutch had a great time and learned so much! He's been great since I came home with our new addition, making this big life change a lot less stressful for everyone! I would recommend her EVERY time!

I have been in the world of animal rescue for almost 15 years. I have worked with numerous dog trainers to try and help dogs with many different challenges over the years. I can 1000% say Jessica is BY FAR THE BEST at helping any dog, no matter the issue. Jessica is extremely knowledgeable, passionate about her work and the dogs, and effective. Because she can handle the toughest of cases she has saved the lives of many rescue dogs who just needed a chance with someone who understood them and decided not to give up on them. I highly recommend Jessica; both Mavi and I are so thankful that we found her!

Jess has made an immeasurable impact in our lives by helping a dog that had almost no training up until 4 years age, go from excessively fear based reactive to understanding that not all dogs are bad. A basic walk in the neighborhood was filled with anxiety and tension, lots of pulling and spastic behavior. That same walk is now calmer, more focused, obedient and full of learning moments. More grateful than I can articulate in a google review, but I would recommend Big Hair Training Services (and have), to everyone I know. Thank you, Jess!
