Dealing With Your Dog

Information may not be reliable

Welcome to my Web site. I am now offering dog obedience classes in the Lake Oconee area, servicing Putnam, Greene and Morgan counties. This site offers you the opportunity to learn more about Dealing With Your Dog. I am the owner and trainer, Jessica, and have been in the canine field for over 13 years, and worked as a Veterinary Technician at Sugarloaf Animal Hospital in Lawrenceville, for 8.5 years. We have moved our business to Putnam county and will be servicing the Lake Oconee area. We are currently offering group classes at Park Place Animal Hospital, just off Hwy 44 in Greensboro and at Reynolds Plantation Commons. I am also a Veterinary Technician at Park Place Animal Hospital. Through my education, training, and homework, I can offer you many different approaches to obedience and behavioral problems. I am a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers , classes will be held in the Lake Oconee area offering group or private lessons. I currently have a 14 year old black Labrador Retriever, named Rocky and a Border Collie mix, Aussie, which I rescued from the Oconee Regional Humane Society in May of 2007. I know exactly what you may be going through with your canine companion. Maybe you have a jumper, chewer, barker or digger, or just want to start off on the right foot, whatever the reason I can help. Give me a call to see what I can do for you! I offer group or private classes, using positive and humane training methods. Scroll down this page to see some student comments who have graduated.

"We really enjoy the obedience classes with Jessica Smith because they are small enough to receive the attention of a personal trainer. This combined with an instructor who has a true desire to see each dog succeed makes it the best investment of time and money we given to our dog!"
Charles and Candice Newberry

"You are so good at what you do and I wonder if you have any idea the impact that you make in our lives? Through your guidance we are still continuing to work with Kizmet as a family and we're all so much happier now that we know how to speak to her and relate to her in "doggie" terms. The once "neighborhood menace" is now on her way to becoming a model citizen. This would not have been possible without the training and insight that you gave us. Kizmet was new to our family and in just a few short weeks you helped smooth the way for her to become "cemented" in our family and in our hearts. Jessica you are awesome. Thank you so very much!"--The Hardy Family

"Jessica, Thank you for having fun and informative training classes. The four of us enjoyed them so much. It was great to get to know you." --Brooke and Tom Ertel and their dogs' Tippy and Tyler.
