Ever since I can remember I have loved animals

I was born into a family of animal lovers and brought up in my auntie's rescue, surrounded by every animal I could imagine. Over the years growing up I have been involved in hand rearing puppies/kittens/lambs and even a squirrel once, walking and training rescue dogs, fostering cats and dogs alongside owning my own dogs, cats and ponies.

Rescue spaces

We currently have 3 of our own boxer dogs, two of which are rescue dogs and two human babies. I am instilling my love for animals into them and they are following in my footsteps and enjoying the same lifestyle.

All my spare time that isn’t spent with my family is given to raising money for charities and volunteering with rescue animals. In the last year alone we have raised £2500 for charity through Redditch Dog Walking thanks to our wonderful supporters through charity dog walks, sponsored runs, raffles and much more – I am always so overwhelmed by the generosity of my amazing clients and supporters and so happy that we can help make a little positive difference.

Understanding dog behaviour

For the last 4 years I have worked with rescue animals and my passion for them drove me further into exploring different training methods and the psychology behind the different species, I wanted to gain more understanding so I could comfort them when they looked so totally baffled by the new situation they had found their selves in and reacted out of fear and anxiety.

By this point I had also convinced my husband to adopt one of our foster dogs who came with a host of her own issues. This made me even more determined to understand dog behaviour and which training methods would help with her reactions towards other dogs.

I threw myself into my studies and completed multiple courses such as Level 4 Diploma in Canine Behaviour, Advanced Certificate Canine Reactive Behaviour, IMDT - Canine Aggression and Rehabilitation – I won’t bore you with the rest but the list is ever growing.

Skills, knowledge and experience

Growing up my love for animals has always been strong, but until recent years it always remained in the background as I pursued my working career in Psychology and Educational Training.

I found myself with two young babies and my desire to work solely with animals stronger than ever so I put my skills, knowledge and experience into practise and embarked on this new venture and I couldn’t be happier.

"Jess is the loveliest person I’ve ever met, I currently take my GSD Lexi to her obedience classes, Lexi went in not being able to even breathe the same air as another dog, a few classes down the line and now she walks into a room with about 12 other dogs in and settles almost straight away. She has progressed so much already I never thought Lexi would ever be able to be in a room of dogs! all thanks to Jess. She really does have a true love for animals!"

"Absolutely recommend Jess 100%, I take my labrador Murray to her class on Monday night. He loves it so much and so do I! It's so nice getting to know other people and their dogs! He has really progressed and I have saw a difference. Jess is great at what she does and knows what she is doing! I haven’t yet had her for dog sitting or walking but I am sure I would have the same great experience."

"Jess has walked our dog for us on several occasions and has been excellent every time. With our dog being an exempt breed and fairly quirky it was important that we could really trust our walker and jess goes above and beyond. She has helped us to understand our dogs behaviour and socialise her with other dogs too making us feel safe and relaxed throughout. I wouldn't have anybody else to walk my dog."
