Is Life With Your Dog a Struggle?
Did you always dream of bringing your best friend with you everywhere, but can’t because of their behavior, reactivity, or anxiety?

We’re here to relieve your worries and help with your dog behavior needs, all from the comfort of your home.
We’ll help you and your dog to understand each other better, so you can meet your training goals together, as partners.
How We Can Help
Ethical and Effective Dog Training that’s Better For Both of You

Dog Training Membership
If you’re a dog guardian looking for long term support and learning, our Better Living with Dogs membership is a great option!
Why work with a
Virtual Dog Trainer?
Take Location out of the Equation
Not every pet parent is in the vicinity of a qualified professional dog trainer. Being virtual allows you access to someone who can actually, ethically and effectively help you!
More Effective
Dogs and humans learn best when they feel comfortable. Online dog training allows you and your dog to begin your behavior modification journey from the comfort of your home and sets you up for success.
More Realistic
Virtual training allows dog trainers to get a realistic window into your life with your dog. We’re able to observe your dog’s behavior under regular conditions, which provides more accurate information.
Easier to Integrate
Real change comes from your ability to maintain your dog’s training. With virtual training, you’re honing your abilities from day one and getting hands-on practice that you can continue with seamlessly.
More Support
Online training opens up the ability for us to support you whenever you need it – not just for one hour per week like in-home dog training and group classes at dog training facilities!
Philosophy
Hello! I’m Jill Hassevoort. My philosophy as a positive reinforcement dog trainer is rooted in the fact that the most effective way to train your dog is with kindness, compassion, and respect. My approach uses reward based training to reinforce behaviors my human clients want to see repeated in their canine partners, while never using aversive tools or punishment.
I firmly believe that dogs are not broken and their behavior doesn’t need to be fixed. Rather, we need to approach the behavior change process with empathy and employ holistic, evidence-based practices that prioritize the welfare and experience of the canine learner, as well as the human. So much joy can come from the human-canine bond. Training should never detract from that, and only enhance it.
I feel like we got more out of even one training session with Jill than we did in all 6 group training sessions at a local facility…This investment in Jill’s training has paid dividends – you won’t regret it!
On a human level, Jill is patient, energetic and tailors her training to your style and your pup’s level. She loved watching Auggie succeed just as much as we did! I can’t wait to continue training with her – truly a gem!
Not only has Jill helped us improve behaviors, she has helped us strengthen the relationship between us and our furry companion, which has certainly made for a happier pup.
