We first started working with Jess in the summer of 2024 to help with some confidence issues our older dog was having, and she was incredible from day one. Her approach is so thoughtful, compassionate, and holistic — she really takes the time to understand both you and your dogs as individuals.

Since then, she’s supported us through raising a puppy, which we found really challenging at times, especially managing the dynamic between our older dog and a young, energetic puppy. Jess went above and beyond throughout it all with patience, kindness, reassurance, and consistency.

What makes Jess so special is that she’s far more than a dog trainer. She helps you build a lifestyle and relationship where both you and your dogs can thrive. Thanks to her support, we now have a calm, happy, harmonious two-dog household and absolutely love our little family. If you want quick fixes or strict obedience above all else, Jess may not be the trainer for you. But if you want someone who will truly understand your dogs, support you without judgement, and help you create a happy and fulfilled life together, I genuinely could not recommend her more highly.

She’s also brilliantly connected within the Northwest dog community and is always happy to recommend trusted specialists when needed. We honestly don’t know where we’d be without her.

Jess has had a genuinely profound, positive impact on our dog.

From the outset, she took the time to understand our needs, answering our questions thoroughly and addressing our concerns. She then designed a bespoke, graduated plan, clearly explaining the science and behavioural psychology behind her approach and why it was right for our dog.

Through her sessions, Jess has built a strong, trusting connection. It’s clear how deeply she respects and cares for the dogs she works with, always prioritising wellbeing. She pays close attention to what our dog is communicating and adjusts accordingly. Working at a pace our dog is comfortable with has significantly improved their confidence - far more effectively than the previous “one size fits all” approaches we had tried.

Jess is also generous with her time outside of sessions, responding to ad-hoc questions with thoughtful, tailored advice.

We’re incredibly pleased with the progress our dog has made and are confident this will continue with support and guidance from Jess.

Walkwise Dog training has been invaluable in helping me and Bentley work better as team! I’d tried so many websites and techniques and was still struggling with both lead pulling and recall. By just our third session with Jess my cocker was already beginning to walk with me nicely in unknown areas! My understanding of his behaviour through Jess’ experience has really helped me understand why I was getting frustrated and the training sessions are always followed up with a comprehensive summary and plan. For anyone thinking about working with Walkwise I’d highly recommend! Thanks Jess!

Jess is simply wonderful at what she does. We contacted her a few weeks after getting our new dog, Reggie. He was a little overwhelmed when outside of the house, and since then Jess has been helping us work with him to build his confidence. She goes above and beyond and is not only great at her job, but is the loveliest person to work with. I will be highly recommending her to everyone as I know they will be in such good hands. Thank you Jess 🫶

Jess has been working with us and our bouncy one year old whippet Wilf and in just 2 sessions we are already seeing results. Our outdoor session has improved his recall and our home training session has made day to day life much easier. Jess is great to work with and we have learnt so much just from watching her approach and interactions with Wilf, we would 100% recommend!

Jess is an absolute superstar. She sees our Labrador every week and has helped us no end build his confidence and helped him enjoy his walks. She gives us brilliant updates each week and is really flexible. Don’t know what we’d do without her!

We’ve worked alongside Jess for almost 2yrs now whilst she’s helped us navigate through the stages of puppyhood and adolescence with our Golden Retriever Boyd. Jess has consistently been a light at the end of the tunnel when things have been tricky (and seemed unmanageable!) and worked so hard to help us and Boyd be the best team. Boyd absolutely loves his sessions with Jess, working on his disengagement and positively reinforcing his good choices. We don’t know where we’d be without Jess, we can’t recommend her enough!

Jess from Walkwise has been helping us with our Irish terrier for some months now with his excitable ways - she has a very calm approach and is incredibly knowledgable about his behaviours and methods to reduce and calm interactions when out and about and provides us with really helpful videos and techniques of her 1:1 sessions which we implement in between - it works very well, our dog enjoys the sessions very much, and it has helped us to manage his walks much better- I would highly recommend Jess.

When I came across Jess’ Instagram page I wasn’t actively looking for any help with my 4-year-old cocker, just a few tips here and there. Fast forward a few weeks in and I felt compelled to get in touch for 1-2-1 sessions. I had no agenda, nothing that needed “fixing” but I knew I needed her incredible knowledge in my dog's life. Jess is probably the closest I’ll get to speaking English to my furry buddy, her passion for dogs truly shines through and is conveyed in a non-judgemental, fun manner. After only a few sessions I understand my dog so much better and can also say we successfully got over a sticky case of ball addiction. Thanks Jess! 😊

We’ve been seeing Jess for a while now and she’s been invaluable at finding some calmness in my exceedingly energetic adolescent golden retriever who absolutely loves her weekly visits! Alongside teaching Indie that life isn’t really as exciting as she thinks it is(!), Jess is super approachable and knowledgeable and will give advice on/work with Indie on any particular issue I highlight to her that has come about that week too. After each session, Jess sends video updates of the training that she has done, along with detailed explanations - invaluable at the time but also as a record to go back to. I have learnt so much from Jess about doggy behaviours and how to help Indie and I recommend her wholeheartedly!

Jess is such an incredible person to work with! My dachshund Gary would also agree. Like most dachshunds Gary is very selective with when he wants to listen to a command, which can be quite frustrating as an owner. However, Jess has taken the time and patience to get to know Gary and learn what his strengths and weaknesses are so that she can get the absolute best out of him. I’ve learnt so much about Gary through this process and it’s been incredible to watch his confidence grow and have him listen to me when I ask something of him!

Jess is amazing and I can not recommend her enough!!!

Jess has been absolutely brilliant with our Sprocker Spaniel Watson. He loves his walks with her and she's helped us through a lot of the struggles we've had with him. I cannot recommend enough!
