Jacqueline D. Dog Trainer Bio

My name is Jacquie Davis, and my lifelong passion for animals, which began by caring for various pets including dogs, cats, horses, and birds, has led me to a fulfilling career as a certified dog trainer. After a successful decade in sales and marketing in the food industry, I made the exciting transition to dog training, a field where my heart truly lies. I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with all breeds and agesfrom puppies to adults. My expertise covers fundamental basic obedience training, addressing complex challenges like reactive behavior and aggression, and foundational agility training. I am a certified dog trainer through the CATCH Canine Trainers Academy, which has solidified my commitment to ethical and effective methods. I exclusively use reward-based positive reinforcement training, as I firmly believe this approach allows any dog to become a loving, well-behaved companion. My dedication extends to the community, where I volunteer my time at the Connecticut Humane Society in Newington, training shelter dogs to help them find their forever homes. At home, my husband and I are the proud owners of a diverse and loving pack, including three rescue dogs (a Border Collie, an Australian Shepherd, and a Lab/Pit Bull mix) and seven rescue cats.
