Jessica Patterson
Founder & CEO
​Throughout my upbringing, I was involved in animal rehabilitation, particularly in the rescue and recovery of animals. My initial foray into professional dog training began at the age of 18, which deepened my love for this vocation. Pursuing my passion, I have continued my professional development through courses and seminars, consistently expanding my knowledge base in order to provide optimal assistance to the dogs under my care. Prior to establishing my own company, I had the privilege of working with five of the foremost dog training facilities in Virginia. My business has since expanded to South Carolina, and I remain committed to advocating for dogs and volunteering regularly for animals in need.
