You're In The Right Place If...
1. You want to have a better relationship with your dog. You envisioned things differently and are losing hope that it could become a reality because of how disconnected you've been feeling.
3.You're embarrassed by your dogs pulling and barking on your walks. It's stressful taking them anywhere in public.You're finding yourself leaving them at home and it's making you feel guilty.
5. You want to be a better owner for your dog. But the daily effort of dealing with your dogs behaviour is exhausting. And you're starting to feel like your mood and mental well being are being affected.
2. You're tired of your dog not listening to you. You always sound like a broken record and just want a dog that chooses to respond to you.
4. You feel like you don't have the time to work on your dogs challenging behaviour. You'd like someone to point you in the right direction and take the leash. Use their skills to train your dog, while you work on yours.
6. You know you need help, but don't know where to start and google searches are leading you to advice that is contradicting or confusing. You're trying, but it feels like its not enough or you're doing it wrong.
HEEEEEEY YOOOOOU GUYS!
I'm Jessica Smith
YOUR TRAINER AND DOG HANDLING COACH
At JESSWECAN Training, we understand how stressful it can feel when your dogs behaviour is affecting your life. It can be frustrating, demanding, and difficult. Not to mention confusing with all of the information that is out there explaining how you should solve your dogs behaviour. It can be time consuming and you never know if you're on the right path or if you're just making things worse. That is why we created our programs for busy pet parents like yourself. With our knowledge and understanding of dogs complex behaviours, we help you get control again and move towards what you envisioned it would be like when you welcomed a furry family member into your home. Let us take the leash and help you get to the lifestyle and dog that you've been longing for. You don't have to face this alone.
​
Our programs are more than basic obedience. We want to know what is causing your dogs challeging behaviour, so we can create a plan that works for you and your dog. Whether it's reactivity, resource guarding, or dog to dog issues, we dig deep and get to the root of it. Then, by using science based training methods with evidence based techniques, we can work towards changing their behaviour. Leaving you both transformed and experiencing a better relationship with a deeper understanding of your dog.
​
We see your dog as a thinking, feeling, and living being who has fears and struggles, just like us. By seeing them as an individual and a family member, we can offer you solutions that fit you and your dog, not a one size fits all, quick fix that suppresses their behaviours. We want to give you the space to breathe, knowing that a trained professional is here to help get your dog to be happy and fulfilled in their life. Reach out to us to start your journey towards a better future together.

"Dog training is an unregulated business which means you don't need any education to train people's dogs, to hold dog classes or to have a doggy daycare. So refreshing to find a trainer with education and experience. I work at a humane society. My dog should be a well rounded dog. But I also have a busy life and needed help to get my dog to be less reactive so going on walks would enjoyable. We are still working our way through the reactive dog course but with Jess's constant support I am already seeing a difference. I can't wait to see how far we come when we are done! This course is so thought provoking and well done. It is clear that Jess knows her stuff and has put a ton of time and effort into this course. Thank you Jess for offering this valuable, reliable service in our city. Your education shows!​"

"Nothing but an amazing experience! My pup and I are living our best life now with just a few simple corrections! Jess is so easy to work with! Thank you!"

"We can’t recommend Jess enough! Her online program and one on one training have helped our reactive dog so much. We are now able to take our guy for walks without the stress of worrying about running in to another dog. She not only has helped train our dog, but has also given us handling/technique tips that will continue to allow us to help our boy.
We also did Jess’ board and train while we were on holidays. It was a relief to know that our dog was in a safe space- we got plenty of updates and our dog was welcomed in by Jess and her family. Plus we were shocked by how much he learned in a relatively short period of time!
We are so glad we decided to work with Jess. She has been communicative and always available for any questions we have. Additionally, her education and experience is obvious and we are seeing results because of it!"
