Jody
Founder & Head Trainer CPDT-KA
Hi, I’m Jody - a certified Family Dog Mediator with Advanced Certification in Canine Reactive Behaviours. I specialize in helping dogs and their humans build strong, lasting connections through science-based, compassionate training methods.
My approach is rooted in understanding each dog as an individual, and I’m especially passionate about supporting reactive, anxious, or misunderstood dogs to reach their full potential. I’m also deeply committed to training assistance dogs to change lives - helping people gain greater independence, confidence, and emotional support through skilled, empathetic canine partners. For me, it’s not just about training - it’s about transforming relationships and creating harmony between both ends of the leash.
My inspiration came from my late Rottweiler, Boss, who joined me at five years old with deep fears and reactivity. Guiding him toward confidence was a life-changing experience for me, one that lit the fire for the work I do today. His legacy lives on in every dog that I help through IdaBoss Dog Training.
Outside of training, I’m a proud Mum and Grandma to two wonderful kids and four beautiful grandsons. You’ll usually find me with my six-year-old Rottweiler, Ida, by my side. Whether you’re struggling with reactivity, seeking an assistance dog, or simply looking to build a better bond with your dog, I’m here to help - judgement-free, science-informed, and always with empathy.
