We empower women to heal their dog's reactivity using ethical, fun, and effective methods supported by science. I have never been more than a few feet from a dog, if I had anything to say about it anyway (as I type there are three are at my feet). I was born into a family with a dog, I grew up with many more; dogs were my playmates, confidants, protectors, and friends. My love for animals quickly
evolved to include dolphins and science, then animal communication... but all along there were dogs and our connection to them.
Hi, I am Dr. Jessica Owens, owner of and lead behaviorist at Unleashed Training. While my parents taught me to train the family dogs, I received formal training in animal behavior from Mount Union College, Sea World, the National Aquarium in Baltimore, and the University of Tennessee, where I earned my Ph.D. While pursuing my research and serving as a Professor of Psychology for the past 15 years I have been committed to the rescue, rehabilitation, and training of Bully Breeds. You will see the many pictures of my own dogs on the website, each one a rescue. Now I look forward to bringing this passion to work for others. Here at Unleashed Training we recognize that a happy and healthy family includes all of it's members. Unleashed Training aims to maximize the health and happiness of your 4-legged family members - whether cats, dogs, or ferrets. We offer breed education, help in selecting a puppy, basic obedience training, and behavior modification for aggression, anxiety, etc. And we only used methods backed by science. You do not need to live in Volusia County, Florida to have access to a world class behaviorist. We can meet in-person, virtually, or via our trainer in residence program. Whatever your needs we are here to help with personalized service. I look forward to working with you and your family.
