Hi! I’m Jamie,
and as long as I can remember I have been an animal lover. When I was little you could find me laying on the floor with whatever dog was around, rescuing birds and bugs, and helping any animal that I was able to.
When I was 18 years old I was in a bad car accident that changed my life. I struggled through years of depression and anger, and then I got Turbo. He was the first dog of my own. My heart dog. He changed everything for me. I had no official training or real dog knowledge and I made a lot of mistakes with that boy; but he was so patient with me while I learned and we ended up creating the strongest bond I have ever felt.
He is the reason that I am still here. He is the reason I do what I do. He made me want to help people avoid making the same mistakes that I did, and create the trust and relationship that will be the foundation for your life together.
The car accident, chronic pain, years of being in and out of doctors' offices, emergency rooms, and some of the treatment I received, led me to working with dogs who suffer from potential pain issues. I wasn’t quite sure how until the universe handed me the wonderful Dynamic Dog Practitioner program. As soon as I heard the founder of the course speak, I knew this was my path. Knowing full well how much pain affected my brain and my behaviour, as well as how skillfully dogs hide when they’re hurting.
I am no longer a part of the Dynamic Dog Membership Association, but I do continue to pursue continuing education through a variety of speakers, webinars, courses and colleagues.

Meet Penny!Penny is my sassy, delightful, loving Basset Hound who you’ll see featured heavily in my online content.
Her favourites include chicken worms (not actual worms, but actually delicious snacks), digging, making friends and chasing bunnies in the park. She also has a complicated medical history and is a huge reason why I am so dedicated to the connections between pain, behaviour and training. If you’d like to read more about Penny you can check out this blog post. |
TESTIMONIALS
Jamie was amazing from the very first lesson. She helped me gain confidence in Paisley that didn't have before. I would absolutely recommend Jamie to anyone. The knowledge and techniques she has for owner's to better their skills is amazing.

Jamie is a very caring and understanding trainer. She will put the effort into researching and help you with any training obstacles you may have.
My favourite part about working with Jamie is that every dog is a good dog. They are individuals with different paths to take to get results that are tailored to each dogs specific needs. |
Hi. My name is Archie and before meeting Jamie I was a scared, reactive rescue pup from California. I'm now a happy dog with less reactivity and have an owner who is armed with tools and knowledge on how to help me when I'm scared. I'm much happier and more confident now.

I have a bluetick coonhound named Tucker who is now 2 years old. We stumbled upon Jamie at our favourite pet store 1.5 years ago. Jamie was such a blessing, so patient, kind and attentive.
Jamie is the most wonderful trainer. She has so much knowledge for dogs. I was so stressed and worried about Tucker. But Jamie helped me turn Tucker into such a well behaved hound dog!! |
I noticed a difference right away with Kona. Kona was much more attentive. And we seemed to just understand each other so much more clearly!
Kona absolutely adores her and so do I. She is professional, trustworthy, reliable and patient. I highly recommend Jamie with new dog owners. |
Jamie is an excellent trainer. Not just for dogs but owners too! Beau and I had a blast working with Jamie. She was patient, kind, with a gentle demeanor and so knowledgeable!
Jamie went the extra mile to make sure that we were confident in our skill before moving to the next step. Beau is now 2 years old and is a master at "touch" thanks to Jamie! I would recommend her to anybody. |
