History
Jessi started out working in veterinary medicine in 2007 She has worked in emergency medicine and day practices. She went to Oklahoma State University - OKC and received her Associates in Veterinary Technology. Working in the vet med field peaked her interest in behavior. She saw how anxious and fearful some of the patients can be and wanted to find a way to decrease that stress and anxiety. She also noticed that while everyone loves their dog that sometimes their bad behavior can make it hard to connect and have a wonderful relationship with them. She began to read and research and found prevention can be the key to preventing many unwanted behaviors. In 2011 she started teaching Puppy Pre-K and Basic Obedience classes. Jessi wanted to further her education so she attended the Karen Pryor Academy of Animal Training and Behavior and graduated as a Certified Training Partner in 2014. Jessi's passion is to encourage and strengthen the human-animal bond.
