www.unleashedtraining.org/freetraining 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. Cheers! Jessica

⏱️24 hour puppy update 👇🏼

As with life so it goes with dog training, it's time to do the work! 👷‍♀️

"The work" involves planning and setting everyone up for success, to get on a schedule, to be mindful, to have patience, and to ask for help when we need it.

❤️ And most importantly to revel in the absolutely beautiful experience that is watching a new soul encounter the world one little bit at a time.

And everyone is doing a good job.
She's a great puppy.
And I'm honored to walk her through this life.

I want to welcome all of my new followers! I'll make a video to welcome you and introduce myself on the next few days. I've been busy puppy-proofing my house for the arrival of my new pack member, George.

Losing both Teddy and Dr. Jones in 2025 was heartbreaking. So many of you offered kind words of support while watching me and Valentine mourn their loss (ok, more me than her).

And while Valentine loves being the new face of Unleashed Training, she isn't too keen on all the work, especially in the heat. So, just when I started thinking about adding a new dog to the pack a friend offered me a pick of their (accidental) litter.

Both parents are stable and have winning personalities, so I met the pups and right away gravitated to the underdog - small, looks nothing like her siblings or parents, but was engaging and strong headed and I said - That's my girl, and her name is George.

Thanks for following!
-Dr. Jessica

Resource guarding- Let them eat!

Remember way back in school when kids would take your pencil right out of your hand and play keep away? Remember how mad it made you?

Same same when you take things from your dog.

We've all heard the outdated advice of 'put your hand in your dog's food' and 'take away their food to show dominance' 🤦‍♀️to show them it's yours, not theirs.

First, go ahead and try to put your hand in my food. I promise you're coming away with one less finger.

Second, that's a great way to teach your dog that they need to be on guard when you're near and create resource guarding.

So, don't be an as***le, it's rude and potentially dangerous.

Instead, try trading. It's easy, it's polite, and it builds trust.

Trick Woofs nails it again.

You won't see it posted here, and honestly knowing that I have an ethical stance against putting dogs in uncomfortable positions in which they will likely fail just to get content is the reason most folks decide to work with us.

The Trump administration has taken away professional status from masters level counseling degrees, making it harder for students to access affordable education, and harder for everybody to access mental health care.
