We've Been There

"When I rescued my first dog I was working as a zookeeper. I thought I was doing everything right — but within weeks, our home felt chaotic and tense. I realized I needed more than obedience; I needed to understand my puppy dog. That moment changed everything."

From Zoo to Your Living Room

Jena, founder of Newman's Dog Training, interacting with an elephant while working as a professional zookeeper—early career in animal behavior before launching personalized in-home dog training services.

When I rescued my first dog,

I was working as a zookeeper — training gorillas, elephants, and sea lions by day, and coming home to a puppy who didn’t care about credentials. Within weeks, our home felt chaotic. I realized obedience wasn’t enough. I needed to actually understand my dog — what motivated him, what confused him, and how to build trust between us.

That moment shifted everything. I took what I knew from years of animal behavior science and poured it into helping families just like yours. Since founding Newman’s Dog Training in 2011, I’ve helped hundreds of families build peace, clarity, and joyful routines with their dogs — without fear or frustration.

Whether you’re raising a brand-new puppy or working through complex behavior struggles, I’m here to help you train with purpose — and live with peace.

“Our trainer came to our home — I didn’t realize how convenient mobile dog training could be. Our puppy responded right away!”

"The way that Jena interacted with Jack from day one was amazing- so loving and supportive, but at the same time, he wasn’t allowed any attention for bad behavior! Her follow up with me and support was also outstanding."

Dog owner smiling with her beagle puppy after receiving compassionate positive reinforcement training from Newman's Dog Training, focused on relationship-building over harsh correction.

"When other dog trainers made me feel guilty about being a "push-over" and cuddling with my dog, Jena told me it was alright. She helped teach our dog not to jump, bark and more (not just how to do tricks)."
