I started The Devoted Dog in 2016 because I wanted to help both dogs and owners live together with a trust and freedom. A large part of my life has been caring for and working with dogs. I currently have three canine kids: a Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, a Chocolate Lab, and a Standard Poodle… Quite a pack! My dream has always been to share my knowledge and passion of dogs so your beloved pet can become a productive and enjoyable part of your family.

I am a certified professional dog trainer through The Animal Behavior College. I am also an Approved Evaluator through the AKC’s Canine Good Citizen program.

I started training dogs knowing each one is unique and requires custom training methods. I am not a cookie-cutter trainer. I will design a program for you and your dog that works for BOTH of you, and move at a pace that is comfortable for BOTH of you.

I would love to talk with you about your training needs and how I can help equip BOTH you and your dog for success.

“We rescued a German Shepherd about 4.5 years ago. She had been neglected, abused and basically shut down. I was referred to The Devoted Dog by another dog trainer who couldn’t help me with Dakota. Our lives changed the minute I met Jacky. She was professional, knew exactly what to do and totally transformed my dog.”
