Holistic Behavior Therapy

Our Approach

We provide high-quality behavior therapy rooted in science, compassion, and heart for puppies, rescues, and dogs with trauma and fear-based behaviors. Jessica’s vast experience will make you feel welcome, understood, accepted, and empowered on your path to a life well-lived with your dog.

Available online and on Salt Spring Island, BC.

  • From a young pup to an older adolescent, your dog's brain undergoes significant growth and is shaped by their surroundings and experiences. Our puppy programs provide you with the resources needed to prevent and address behavioral challenges, while also setting your puppy on a path to success as they progress through their developmental stages.

  • Every one of us starts our dog-owing journey with a vision of an ideal ‘dream’ dog. Yet, when challenges arise, they can be frustrating and may even seem impossible. Our specialization lies in resolving reactivity, anxiety, and abnormal or excessive behaviors, to help you and your dog achieve that dream life you started with.

  • Sometimes our dog comes to us having overcome an unimaginable hardship or a trauma while with us (ie; injury from an attack), consequently shaping their behavior. Through compassionate and scientifically grounded approaches, we skillfully assist your dog in overcoming trauma, allowing them to lead a life without fear and phobias. Our techniques prioritize your dog's welfare and frequently involve collaboration with experienced veterinarians.

  • In a secure, compassionate, and unbiased environment, you have the freedom to share your emotions and recollections. Jessica is dedicated to listening, offering support, and being with you through the intricacies of your grief. Often, the depth of this loss might not be fully grasped by our family or friends, with remarks like “It was just a dog” or “They lived a full life.” However, confiding in someone who truly comprehends the magnitude of your loss can provide a sense of stability and understanding during these trying times.

“Jessica brings so much experience and science-based knowledge to her sessions. Her approach to building the best possible relationship with your dog is informed by this and the results are immediate and encouraging. She has so much compassion for the animals she interacts with and they respond in a whole new way - it is so inspiring to be part of this evolution”

  • Highly Recommend Jessica:

    I highly recommend Jessica to anyone looking for training. She is excellent at communicating concepts and ideas and I appreciate her evidence based positive reinforcement approach.

  • Science-Led Empathy: Building Confidence with Jessica's Help

    I appreciate the scientific knowledge you provide and educating us top see through my dogs point of view versus just my own. After my dog had his puppy fear stage, it seemed like he never got out of it. Thanks to Jessica, we are getting through the barriers by building a relationship, confidence, and boundaries with all sorts of techniques and games.

  • Healing Trauma with Jessica's Compassionate Guidance

    I grew up in the house where we had 4 dogs, and I have 3 now but I’ve never had a dog like Tony, who was rescued from the backyard dog meat farm and was chained since he was a small pup and physically beaten by the owner everyday.

    His trauma was very severe. I’m so grateful to meet Jessica who is very experienced with dogs like him and giving me such a kind and very structural guidance so that I can understand well.

  • Insightful Transformation

    We were becoming lost in handling our young mini Aussie shepherd because of new behaviours she was exhibiting. Once we met Jessica and started learning about the reasons behind the behaviour everything started to make sense..we were immediately reassured and more confident in how we can help our dog become her best self! We are so grateful for this experience!

  • Jessica's Attentive, Personalized Group Approach

    Jessica is an exceptional trainer. She’s expert working one on one with behaviours even during group lessons and everyone still gets equal attention. She picks up on behaviours, even in a group setting. No where to hide, which is a good thing. 😂

  • Rescue Dog Expertise: Jessica's Valuable, Understandable Guidance

    We really appreciated that Jessica has experience working with oversea rescue dogs. She understands their fears and did really well with explaining to us their behaviour and what to expect. We’ve only had one session with Jessica and were so grateful for the amount of information and training tips we were given, without it being overwhelming. We also love how she partners up with overseas rescues and really understands what these dogs have been through! It makes our experiences feel validated. We will definitely be training with her again!

  • Enlightening Session

    Session was very informative and included several training techniques/games to address challenging behaviours with our border collies.

  • One Session, Complete Trust: Jessica's Expertise Shines

    After just one session with Jessica I felt extremely comfortable and knew we were in great hands. It is obvious her knowledge and passion are of the highest level. I look forward to working with Jessica going forward.

  • Real-Time Insights

    We love how in present time Jessica educates us on each aspect of our dog’s behaviour during the session which helps us be aware of it later in our practice experiences.

  • Clear Direction: Jessica's Effective Training Strategy

    How easily you could see the underlying behaviour issues & point us in the right direction. Rather than insert herself into our dogs’ space, Jessica held back, creating a good opportunity for us to lo learn. Jessica quickly pinpointed the areas we needed to work on to best help our dogs and even on the first day there was small improvement. Jessica was gracious to answer all our questions. We found the one on one time with her to be extremely helpful.

  • Calming Reactivity: Progress with Jessica's Expert Strategies

    We have a 2 1/2 yr old male Labradoodle who is very reactive when meeting new people, particularly in our home. Jessica provided a number of strategies to help with his high anxiety as well as uncovering what may have contributed to his reactivity. We feel we have made some progress and will continue working with the strategies provided to bringing his anxiety level down. Jessica was extremely generous with her time and really was a wealth of knowledge. We found the sessions really helpful!

  • Jessica's Transformational Approach and Clear Explanations

    Honestly, Jessica is the best dog trainer I have ever encountered! She explained everything very well, transformed my thinking as to what is the best for my dog. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

  • Professional Excellence

    Super professional and thorough instruction. I’m very happy with our service.
