What Makes PYRWILD Training Great

by pyrwild, posted in online classes, training

My goal as a trainer is not to overwhelm students, throw a bunch of sequences or crazy skills at them but to work and fine-tune teams to be their best.  I work with each student and their dog as the individual team they are at the level they are at or aspire to be.

I get to know each student and their dogs individually and truly want to help each and everyone of my students to achieve their goals.  I understand that each dog learns differently and so does each human.  My aim is to help each student be successful.

With a degree in philosophy, I have a very analytical mind and a natural eye for detail.  I am proud to offer reward-based training, well-rounded skills & analytical feedback to my students.  With an eye for detail, I am able to pinpoint little details and ultimately shape towards success.  In my online course content includes simple, efficient videos and detailed write ups to go along with them.

PYRWILD students get:

  • Feedback & guidance in training
  • Detailed and analytical information
  • Judgement free help and support
  • Personable connection
  • The aid of years of experience and knowledge
  • Education for the Human, Training for the Dog

Student Testimonials

“I have worked w/ lots of trainers in the last 25 years & shall continue to to visit the ones I like, but I LOVE how you break  it down incrementally; i.e. getting correctly from Point A to Point B & patiently teach how to do that.  It is SO cool how many mistakes you can see just between say like 2 or 3 jumps ! I am not naturally an “incremental” “attention to detail” person & I believe it is the key to our success.”
“…turns around the problems we were having and enabled us to win the Rescue Agility Finals. Although we are in completely different time zones Jessica replies within hours and is always ready to explain and explain again to enable us to fully understand (which is not always easy online as I have found out with previous instructors).”
“In preparation for EOJ this year with both of my dogs I have been taking an online class from Jessica. I feel more confident and can feel the connection between my dogs and I while running. Scrat has improved so much under her training/ mentoring. She has also gotten Shadows confidence and speed up at 16″ with the drills she suggests.”
“Super nice training with fast feedback in our online class! She really helped ous with our problem. We would go to a Class again”
“Jesi helped us to completely retrain our weaves during the summer break. The training plans were detailed but flexible and Jesi is very prompt with her feedback and is a lovely positive person to have on your team. Super happy with the improvements we have made. Highly recommend PyrWild!”
“A good teacher is hard to find; a nice teacher is also hard to find; and your words of wisdom with (my dog) are amazing.  I would not think of any other teacher..”
“(My dog) and I are looking forward to learning more.  You’re a fantastic instructor. Didn’t think I’d ever compete with (my dog). It was more of just something to keep her occupied. But she’s a fantastic dog. I’m the one holding her back.”
