Our Team

Jessa Parker, cpdt-ka

Jessa began training dogs full-time after graduating from Texas A&M University in 2013. She moved to Phoenix, Arizona after college where she worked as head trainer for an ADI-accredited non-profit that raised, trained, and placed service dogs for children and adults with disabilities. Through this work, Jessa developed her specialization for training and placing mobility assistance dogs and diabetic alert dogs. Jessa obtained her professional dog training certification in 2017, and began working with AZ Dog Sports and the AZ Dog Smart Academy. Jessa recently moved to south Texas with her husband and their pack of pets. She is still available for lessons and consultations in Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas.

Gill

Gill most often works as Jessa’s demo dog, demonstrating finished behaviors and training for clients and their canines. He knows how to do all of the things, and prides himself on being the “bestest” dog at all times. He is very serious when he’s working, and very silly when he is not.

DC

DC is the prettiest dog, in addition to being an accomplished therapy and visitation dog. Her purpose in life is to be petted and told how pretty she is, and continues rocking those goals on the daily.

Isabel

Isabel started life as an assistance dog-in-training, and eventually became matriarch to a line of service dogs before retiring to the glamorous life of (mostly) being a couch potato. Bels maintains her diabetic alert dog skills, and also works part-time as a demo dog for Jessa.
