Jenai
Training Intern
Jenai found her passion for dog training through rescue work, where helping over 100 dogs sparked a lifelong commitment. What began as volunteering quickly turned into a kennel attendant role and then a training internship, where she discovered her love for understanding behavior and redirecting energy in reactive and rescue dogs.
She’s volunteered in Mexico at a spay and neuter clinic, rescued animals abroad, and is known for connecting deeply with the dogs who need it most. With over a year of experience, Jenai is working toward opening her own training business and hopes to specialize in GRC, agility, scent work, and animal psychology.
Rylea
Training Intern
Rylea has always had animals in her life, but everything changed when she brought home her own puppy. That high-energy, reactive pup sparked a deep curiosity—and a passion that quickly turned into a career path. Eager to meet her dog’s needs and set her up for success, Rylea dove headfirst into research and training. What began as a way to help her dog thrive turned into something more: she realized she had never had more fun or felt more fulfilled.
Now, Rylea is dedicated to helping other dogs—and their people—find that same joy in connection, understanding, and growth. She especially loves working with dogs who are reactive, full of energy, or eager to learn. Her approach combines empathy, structure, and play, helping channel even the most intense energy into something positive and productive.
With a future focused on continuing education and hands-on experience, Rylea is committed to turning challenges into opportunities and making life better for dogs and their humans.
