Helping, Training, Loving Dogs.
Thoughtful dog training; leading the handler to meet the dog where he or she is and building on their natural traits, tendencies and desires to promote a bond between human and dog to accomplish simple and complex training goals. Using games to drive behavior learning is fun for everyone.

Training available for limited clients
We have settled our family and nested into our home here in Williston, Vermont.
Moving from DC I left some of the BEST clients, volunteer organizations, and friends a trainer could dream of, the birthplace of our kiddos, the origin of multiple businesses, and more than a decade of love, loss, laughter, and growth. I am able to look back at SO much progress with each and every client & the rescue of hundreds of dogs! From alert barking, kennel training, basic obedience, tricks skills, and more. I am so grateful for the opportunity to build my business with LBRG volunteers, adopters, and clients, and I will forever be grateful for the trust you put in me.
I am very excited to put my experience to work here in Vermont. My availability is limited due to my family's schedule. Weekdays 9 AM - 2 PM.
With love, gratitude, & joy,
Jackie Ward CPDT-KA, IAABC-ADT

The Little Black Dog Rescue Group
Black dogs are traditionally passed over for adoption in favor of light coated dogs. Our goal is to help any abandoned, mistreated, or abused dog find the best possible home in the DMV regardless of breed, color, or size. We strive to achieve this goal with compassion, transparency, and a strong sense of responsibility to our dogs, applicants, volunteers, foster families, and supporters.
Fenzi Dog Sports Academy
Our courses are taught in a manner that respects the physical and emotional well being of both the dog and handler. Our philosophy is to be kind, always.
We meet our students where they are…you don’t have sign a pledge and we don’t specify how students should or should not train. We provide you with effective and dog friendly options; what you do with that information is up to you.
