Hi, I’m Jess!

I understand your struggles because I’ve been in your shoes. I’ll never forget the day my dog, Sadie, bit a friend. I felt completely helpless and unsure of what to do. What I didn’t realize at the time was that I had unknowingly contributed to Sadie’s aggressive behavior by making some common mistakes. It’s true—sometimes you just don’t know what you don’t know!

Determined to help Sadie, I dedicated myself to learning everything I could about dog behavior and effective training techniques. Through patience and persistence, I rehabilitated her, transforming both her behavior and our relationship. Along the way, other dog owners started seeking my help, and that’s how Sadie’s Rules K9 Training was born.

Today, I’m proud to have helped hundreds of dogs in Charlottesville, Crozet, and beyond become happy, healthy, and well-adjusted members of their families. My goal is to make the journey to a balanced and harmonious life with your dog as smooth and rewarding as possible.

Let’s work together to bring out the best in your dog!
