| About Jessica |

This is a quote from one of my favorite songs, "The Change" by Garth Brooks. It speaks to me as to why I feel the need to make things better for the animals. "One hand reaches out and pulls a lost soul from harm While a thousand more go unspoken for They say what good have you done By saving just this one It's like whispering a prayer in the fury of a storm And I hear them saying you'll never change things And no matter what you do it's still the same thing But it's not the world that I am changing I do this so this world will know That it will not change me" |
| Jessica lives and trains locally. She shares her home with her husband Chris, dogs veterinary technician and hospital dog trainer at a busy veterinary hospital for nearly six years. In her free time she enjoys learning new things, taking agility classes with Etta, riding Missy (preferably in the woods!) and hiking and kayaking with Chris and the dogs. She also loves to paint, draw, read and scrap book. "Thank you for browsing through my site. I hope by now you are feeling as I do, positive training works and it is great! I have learned that there is an enormous resistance to positive training. People insist that you needed force to train a dog. I have seen results with positive training that I have never seen before when I used force based methods. I know it is simply not true and I will continue to believe it, train my dogs with it, and teach it for as long as I am able. No dog should have to suffer through some of the methods out there, it is my mission to prevent that as much as possible". |
