Jayne has 10 years of experience helping dogs sort through complicated emotions. Over time she has streamlined an approach that focuses on exercise, enrichment, and emotional regulation. It’s complicated to deal with a dog who barks/lunges on leash or who has even bitten other dogs or people. One of her greatest joys in the training industry is to help give guardians the skills & confidence to expand their dog’s worlds.

Getting a puppy often sounds like a great idea … until you get one and realize what absolute chaos a puppy brings. Jayne loves helping guardians & their puppies navigate through adolescence and grow into a well adjusted adult dog.

Jayne’s puppy raising foundation started through a Service Dog lens. Since the Service Dog renaissance in the 70’s, training organizations have honed in on the perfect series of experiences a puppy to have at every life stage to help them grow into a well-adjusted adult. Her experience allows her to bring that knowledge into the pet/companion dog training world in a very unique way.

A note from Jayne…

I was launched into this industry through the process of training my own service dog. At the time I was suffering from crippling panic attacks and disassociation that made it hard to leave my own house. It was even hard to get out of bed each morning. Getting a new dog wasn’t an option, so I set about trying to figure out how to train the dog I already had. She was a Boston Terrier who had just turned a year old. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find any trainers willing to evaluate or help me train her. Through a lot of digging down google rabbit holes I stumbled across a legitimate academic university that had been founded by THE founder of service dogs. Within n the span of a few weeks was set to move from NYC to CA. I spent 2 years learning the ins and outs of professional service dog breeding, raising, and training and eventually got a puppy to train to be my own service dog.

As part of trying to fill the need for fully trained service dogs I started an organization with my friend & fellow trainer Jordyn Hatfield called Enrichment Canine Service Dogs. ECSD is a soon to be 501©3 not for profit organization that focuses on producing scent based alert dogs and psychiatric service dogs for veterans. You can click here to visit the ECSD website!

I also currently offer training & support through my personal training business for those trying to train their own service dogs. If you are an individual who either has a dog already or is planning to get a dog to train as your own service dog, you can click here to learn more about those services.

As part of her bachelor’s degree, Jayne completed in a variety of working/sports training intensives. These included instruction from a herding dog trainer, a police/bite sport trainer, agility trainers, a search and rescue dog trainer, a guide dog trainer, and expert detection dog trainers.

Through her career she has competed at a hobby level in a variety of sports. Her dogs have done agility, disk work, tricks training, and competiton-level obedience training.

Jayne was most recently training in NYC in the some of the busiest downtown neighborhoods. She understands how to get the best from your dog even in the most chaotic environments!

Jayne has had a decade of experience with helping awkward, nervous, or confrontational dogs build a better mindset towards other dogs.

She believes that social learning from role model mentor dogs is the best way to heal the canine mind.

Whether a dog is a puppy, an adolescent, or an adult being able to interact in natural ways with other dogs is a spectacular source of enrichment for us to give them.
