Meet Des

Desiree kneeling with her dog

Hi, I'm Desiree, but most people call me Des. I spent four years at Jamestown Veterinary Hospital working with dogs of every size and temperament, and I've trained dogs for more than five years, including my own two, Howard and River. My training is balanced and mostly reward-based, with clear steps you can actually keep up with at home.

Prefer coaching from home?

Virtual sessions give you live, one-on-one guidance over Google Meet, right in your own space where your dog’s habits actually happen.
