Introduction
Hello and thank you for checking out my profile. My name is Jey and I am a trainer that fits under the balanced dog training umbrella, which means I use all of the 4 quadrants of operant conditioning. I don't believe every dog learns the same so I use a balanced mix of negative and positive reinforcement and correction, depending on the needs of each particular dog and ability of their owner. I have over 11 years of experience in working with dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments; dog walking, kennel technician, dog daycare, vet assistant, grooming assistant, house sitting, and rescue work. I offer an Elder discount to clients 60+ years old, a discount for BIPOC as reparation, and a discount for fellow LGBTQIA community members (contact me for details). I am centrally located in Phinney Ridge and I serve the greater Seattle area. I'm more than willing to travel and meet somewhere in the middle, for clients outside of Seattle. I’ve had clients as far south as Olympia and as far north as Bellingham.

Jey has been wonderful! Our dog Pico has been a little trouble maker since we adopted him. With Jey’s training, Pico learned several commands, leash manners, and is now more attentive when we conduct the training ourselves. Highly recommend. Very accomodating with our schedule and will go out of the way to conduct private lessons!

Details: 2 - 10 years old • Small (16 - 25 lbs) • Board and train at a facility • Aggressive behavior modification • Leash pulling • Barking • Biting • Crate training • At the pro’s location

Since my German Shepherd Colombo has worked with Jey in her Board and Train and the sessions included in that program my relationship with Colombo has blossomed. Prior to training, Colombo’s reactivity on leash and inconsistent obedience caused me an immense amount of stress. She would pull on leash, bark at dogs in our neighborhood and was exhibiting a lot of anxious behavior. I really wanted more for Colombo and Jey’s training gave us that. Jey worked with Colombo AND me. She taught me how to be a strong leader for Colombo and keeps things simple. As a first time dog owner I can now enjoy going on walks with Colombo in busier areas without leash pulling and reactive behavior, and I can play with her at the park stress free. Every step of the way I felt comfortable having Colombo in Jey’s care, Colombo even continues to board with Jey when I am out of town which is lovely given she can maintain her routine and training. I reach out to Jey for general guidance and they are always happy and eager to provide insight. I had worked with two trainers prior to working with Jey and both times I left worried that my relationship with Colombo wouldn’t strengthen. Working with Jey was the fix. Colombo is thriving. My sister and brother speechless at the transformation Colombo had during board and train. She’s still her goofy, silly self but confident and calm in the outside world and listens when I communicate with her. If you’re looking for a way to strengthen your relationship with your dog and give yourself and your dog more freedom and confidence, I couldn’t recommend working with Jey enough. I can enjoy being a dog owner and leader for Colombo more than ever!

We had an excellent consultation with Jey! She identified areas where we could improve as owners as well as Chupa's potential to be the very best dog she can be. After realizing we were moving to Alaska before we could get time for a board/train in - Jey gave several helpful suggestions on working with Chupa's reactiveness on the leash and to noise in the home along with recommendations for tools and material to review. I cannot thank Emerald Dog Training enough to get us on the right path for our pack!
