My name is Jess and I am the face behind Follow My Lead Dog Training, based in Addlestone, Surrey.

​

I have always adored dogs and been interested in their behaviour from a young age. I studied Experimental Psychology at University and this furthered my enthusiasm for understanding how learning takes place.

​

I am a fully qualified trainer and behaviourist with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers (IMDT) & Behaviour (IMDTB). I solely use ethical, positive and force-free methods to train dogs with love. As an Assessed and Qualified Member of The Institute of Modern Dog Trainers I am proud to display the UK Dog Behaviour & Training Charter symbol.

​

I have also been lucky enough to have worked with numerous rescue dogs during the rehoming process. I believe that training and behavioural modification can, and should, be a positive, enjoyable experience and I'm passionate about helping owners and their dogs to live their best lives together.

​

I am committed to keeping my knowledge and approach up to date, regularly attending additional courses, undertaking further study and reading the latest publications on dog behaviour and training.

​

The wonderfully varied, complex and ever-changing nature of dogs

never fails to amaze and delight me. There is no ‘one size fits all’

way of training and I tailor my approach to the needs and nature of

each individual dog and owner I work with.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.
