Hey! I’m Jess, and this is my rescue dog Lila.

Sunflower K9 was inspired by the various challenges I faced whilst rehabilitating Lila and helping her to become the very best version of herself. I made a lot of mistakes along the way, but the true progress came when I started honouring her for who she is, taking more time to truly understand her, and finding the right communication system that we both understood. Once an anxious and fearful dog from the streets of Romania, she is now a happy, fulfilled and well-adjusted girl living a very normal pet dog life.

We now help other dogs and their owners build more connection, communication, clarity and mutual trust in order to help their relationship thrive.

Am I the right trainer for you?

  • I can help you if:

    • You’re feeling overwhelmed or embarrassed by your dog’s behaviour, and you want to make a change.

    • You want to become a more confident handler and improve your relationship with your dog.

    • You come into the process with an open mind and are willing to try something new.

    • You are willing to put the work in every day and make changes where needed.

    • You communicate with me and don’t struggle in silence.

  • I can't help you if:

    • You want a quick fix.

    • You want me to do the work for you.

    • You refuse to try new approaches or methods.

    • You “don’t have time.”

    • You don’t communicate with me.

  • "Jess has changed our life with our Labrador. Prior to working with Jess, our walks were super stressful and now we have a dog who is engaged with us, who walks nicely on the lead and who can settle in busy pubs and restaurants. I no longer dread going out with her!"
