Heart of a Dog

Hi, I’m Jaila – the heart behind Heart of a Dog. As a multi-dog owner and balanced trainer with over five years of experience, my passion lies in helping dogs and their owners truly understand each other. I believe the foundation of great training is a strong relationship built on trust, communication, and mutual respect. I love helping dogs become more calm, confident, and well-adjusted as they navigate life’s chaos. Whether it’s through structure, clear communication, or confidence-building exercises, my goal is always to support dogs in becoming the best version of themselves. I specialize in basic obedience, leash walking, crate training, potty training, household manners, and behavior modification. Through my in-home board and train programs, dogs receive consistent, personalized training in a real home environment. These programs also include private lessons to support a smooth transition and continued success. I’m here to help build that bond in a way that makes life easier, more peaceful, and more fulfilling for you both!
