Introduction

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!

We cannot express how happy we are with Jaila, she knows her stuff!! Our Frankie came back with a solid foundation of basic trading that she herself is proud to display. Little miss Frankie is making it easy for us to continue with the obedience training here at home. We give ALL the credit to Jaila, she not only got Frankie off to a great start, she also has helped us learn how to stay with the training. THAN YOU.

I am so pleased with my experience with Jaila. She has opened my eyes to the RIGHT way in training my pup. My 5 month old puppy, Brody did the 2 week Board & Train and it was perfect while I was away traveling and training him while he is young. Jaila was very professional. Hands down, I will use her again and again...she's part of our family now.

Canceled appt 30 mins before time due to another appointment running behind. Not sure why we were canceled vs the late person. Did offer to reschedule but doesn’t seem dependable. Based on the other reviews, think this is may be a great trainer if she keeps the appt.

FAQs

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer over the phone or in person consultations, where we’ll discuss all concerns and set up a training start date.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated as a professional dog trainer from Jo-Thor dog training academy
How did you get started doing this type of work?
I own two terriers who used to pull extremely hard on the leash, and I could not figure out how to stop it. So I went to Dog Training school to learn more.
