I would 100% recommend Jess for anyone that is struggling with separation anxiety with their dog. We were struggling with that for our dog Pixel since we got him, for more than one year. We tried different trainings and even worked with another trainer focused on separation anxiety before. Unfortunately they did not provide us the support we needed and we were lost on how to move forward. Thankfully we found Jess and deciding to work with her was the best decision we made.

In the beginning, since we did not have the best experience with our previous trainer, we were unsure if it would be worth investing on another trainer. But it definitely was. She is very attentive to details, extremely organized and provides support in so many ways. For example, she helped us find a good veterinarian behaviorist and supported us all the way with them, providing reports and attending the consultations.

After a lot of training and adjustments we were finally able to help Pixel with his separation anxiety. A dog that would not stay alone for more than a couple minutes now manages to stays hours relaxed on his own. I cannot even express how happy we were when we first went out for dinner for the first time since we got Pixel without having to leave him at daycare.

We started working with Jessica in June of 2024 after 3 years of very minimal progress under the guidance of another trainer. This had me feeling like there was no light at the end of the tunnel after years of hard work & I was at the end of my rope, but boy was I wrong. Jess completely transformed the way that my behaviorally complex little boy viewed alone time by providing the best possible guidance in all areas of my pup’s life & routine. In just a matter of weeks, we were seeing new behaviors & a less rigid dog, making new, comfortable choices. She pushed him, but in the most thoughtful, strategic way possible. I can truly say that I don’t believe we would ever be where we are today without her help. From 30 minutes in June 2024 after years of desensitization to 4.5 hours in October 2025 and counting! I have been able to spend time with my friends and family again, all while knowing he is just fine at home. I have my life back and my little man is a MUCH happier dog! Thank you endlessly for making the once unthinkable, possible for us! ❤️

Jess was an absolute godsend for us and we're so grateful for her support after working with her for ≈18 months. At first our rescue dog couldn't be left alone for even a few minutes. The regular dog trainer we worked with for a year made no difference. Then Jess worked with us up until Manny was/is comfortable home alone for nearly 5 hours, multiple times a day!

Jess and the Underdog Collective changed my and my pup, Bea's, lives. Bea graduated from separation training this past January (2024). She can consistently be left home alone in the evenings for over 6 hours without issue. It honestly feels like I have my life back. And it is really all thanks to Jess.

We cannot say enough good things about Jess! We came to her after seeing no progress with separation anxiety training on our own. Our dog started Week 1 not being able to be left alone. By Week 4, he progressed to up to 18 minutes of alone time!

Jess was so kind when she did an assessment for our dog. For background, my partner and I have been training our dog on our own for around nine months, and we felt a bit stuck. We reached out to Jess for some additional help.

We worked with Jessica for about a year on our pup's separation anxiety. She is just amazing and you can tell she is not in this business just for the money - she truly cares about her clients and helping them achieve their goals.

Working with Jess at The Underdog Co. is the best decision we ever made! Not only does Jess specialize in Separation Anxiety Training, she helped us truly understand our puppy’s behavioural needs and how to support him.

Jessica has been an absolute game changer for us! We have been struggling with separation anxiety training for over a year now, and having her professional guidance and support has made a huge difference. I appreciate her realistic approach and it has allowed us to safely push duration and start to get our life back.

Jessica is a gem and everything you want in a trainer! I was totally lost on what to do with my SA dog and how to help my dog cope. Jessica broke down the process and explained all the steps clearly. I knew exactly what to expect moving forward.
