Jessie Vorderstrasse

For the last 7 years Jessie has immersed herself in training dogs, primarily family companions, and can't imagine doing anything else. She believes in establishing clear communication, structure, and setting dogs (and their humans) up for success- not just in training sessions, but in real life. She has loved dogs since she was a kid, but what she really loves now is helping people understand their dogs— why they do what they do, how to meet their needs, and how to actually enjoy life together without constant stress or confusion.

Jessie is Canine CPR Certified and regularly pursuing continued education and additional certifications!
