About Us
Who We Are
The Thinking Canine is led by me, Jess, an experienced dog trainer who has been working with dogs for years. She has raised and bottle-fed puppies, trained search and rescue dogs, and helped countless dogs and their owners improve their bond through fun and effective training techniques. Jess has been teaching and training dogs since she was 18, and she has a passion for using modern, positive reinforcement methods that help dogs learn in a supportive environment.
What We’re About
We believe that training isn’t just about teaching cues—it’s about building communication, trust, and understanding between you and your dog. We specialise in working with puppies and adult dogs, focusing on creating positive experiences through reward-based training.
Our goal is to help dogs of all ages learn valuable skills that will make life better for both the dog and their owner. Whether you’re just starting out with a puppy or looking to refine your older dog’s skills, we’re here to help.
