Get to Know Me
Hello! I’m Jill Kudera, a Licensed Veterinary Technician with over eighteen
years of experience. My journey has led me to specialize in dog training and
behavior because I truly believe that every dog deserves a strong and loving
relationship with their person. My greatest joy comes from helping you and
your dog thrive together in harmony.
I utilize science-backed, force-free, positive reinforcement methods to
cultivate an engaging and supportive learning environment. Together, we can
address any challenging behaviors by focusing on effective communication
and mutual understanding. My goal is to empower you with practical tools
and strategies, equipping you to navigate any situation with confidence and
ease.

My Vision
As a dog trainer, I differentiate myself through a tailored approach. Rather than conducting large group classes, I emphasize personalized, one-on-one sessions for you and your dog in their everyday environment. This allows us to customize training to align with your specific lifestyle. We can work in your home, in person or virtually, as well as in challenging settings like your neighborhood walks, parks,
or any other areas that may be problematic.
Understanding that every dog and their guardian is unique, I specialize in adapting my lesson plans to meet your individual needs. My commitment is to help you discover sustainable, personalized solutions that seamlessly integrate into your lifestyle, ensuring that you and your dog can enjoy your best life together.
My Why
After dedicating over eighteen years as a veterinary technician, I began to ponder: Why do pets behave the way they do? What must they be feeling as they interact with us humans?
When I started my certification training, I was initially a bit skeptical. After all, I had years of experience observing more traditional methods. The first lesson I attended, alongside a positive reinforcement Certified Trainer, involved a little dog who struggled to contain his excitement
around people, often jumping up to greet them. I watched how they engaged with this little dog, thinking, "That’ll never work!" To my surprise, it worked beautifully, and it was a positive experience for both the dog and his guardian. It didn’t take long for me to understand the
incredible impact of positive reinforcement training... and I was hooked!
Today, as a certified trainer myself, I’m genuinely excited to share everything I have learned and continue to learn. I aim to help others discover the deep connections and joy that are possible
with these intelligent, complex beings.
