Positive Reinforcement Dog & Cat Trainers
Mindful Methods Companion Coaching prioritizes humane dog training methods, led by an emphasis on continuing education to stay up-to-date on the latest research in the animal welfare and training world.
All of our dog trainers subscribe to fear-free methods - never employing force, pain, coercion, or intimidation tactics. We rely on positive reinforcement-based behavior solutions to achieve long-lasting behavior modification.
We help all types of dogs from puppies, adolescents, adults, and seniors. It is never too early or too late to begin your training journey.
We deal with a variety of behavioral issues including basic manners, reactivity, aggression, and more. Services are available in your home or ours!

SHOUT OUTS
“Jessie is nothing short of excellent; she's wonderful with the animals, and just as important, great with humans, too. She taught our dog some basic behaviors, then came into the house and made suggestions that have dramatically improved our relationship with him. She communicates with us what she would do to encourage the behavior we want to see and then teaches us how to do it. Jessie helped me feel much more confident as a dog owner and I see the difference her work does in how much happier and relaxed our dog is.”
Michael A. - Elgin, IL
“Jessie is a very gifted and talented trainer! Every time my dogs spend time with her they learn something! She taught my Newfie to use a car ramp! Best of all, she is honest and easy to work with. If you are looking for a knowledgeable and experienced trainer look no further and contact Jessie!”
Teri W. - St. Charles, IL
“Jessie was amazing and flexible. Not only that, she knows her stuff. I highly recommend working with her and this organization. You won't be disappointed. Worried about location? NO FEAR!!
