I started K9 Foundations in 2014 after spending three years as the lead trainer at a Gwinnett County rescue, where I saw firsthand how the right training could mean the difference between a dog being adopted and being returned.
I specialize in fearful and reactive dogs because those are the dogs nobody else wants to work with — and they're often the ones who need help the most. My methods are 100% force-free, science-based, and grounded in modern animal behavior research.
From the first phone call to lasting behavior change, here's what working with me looks like.
15-minute phone call to understand your dog and your goals. No pressure, no sales pitch.
I come to your home (or you come to me) for a 90-minute assessment with you and your dog.
You get a written training plan tailored to your dog's specific needs, history, and your lifestyle.
We work together over weeks or months. You get text & email support between every session.
A few of the families I've had the privilege to work with.
"Our rescue Luna was reactive to every dog we passed on walks. After 8 weeks with Jamie, we can now walk through downtown Lawrenceville without a meltdown. Life-changing."
"The board & train was the best money we ever spent. Our golden came back actually listening, and Jamie taught US how to keep it that way. Daily videos were amazing."
"I've worked with three other trainers before Jamie. None of them got results with my anxious shepherd. Jamie understood him from day one. We're forever grateful."
