I’m jenny, your pet mentor…
I’ve lived with various furry and feathered friends over the years, but my husband and I currently share our home with Amber the golden retriever and Evie the cat.
Amber is my inspiration for becoming a dog trainer. She can be an anxious dog and I’ve worked hard to help her feel more confident.
As well as being a qualified dog trainer, I also work in Learning and Development for an international animal welfare charity and previously worked in a similar role for the RSPCA.
I have nearly a decade of experience and various qualifications in training and coaching people.
I was inspired to launch Your Pet Mentor as a way of using my years of professional experience in training and mentoring people to help pets and their owners live happy lives together.
I live in Crawley and offer dog and puppy training to clients in Crawley and surrounding areas including Horley, Crawley Down, Copthorne, Lingfield, East Grinstead, and Haywards Heath.

What people often don’t understand about dog trainers, is that we don’t train your dog! We give you the skills and knowledge you need to train your dog. Here’s an idea of what you can expect from working with me as Your Pet Mentor…
We will make training fun!
I firmly believe that training should be something that is fun for both you and your dog. If it’s a stressful experience, neither of you are going get much out of it, so I use games and a relaxed approach to training so that everyone enjoys the experience.
A personal approach
I like to get to know both you and your dog, so that I can recommend training that is specifically tailored to your training goals and what will work for you. I try to explain things in a way that is easy for you to understand and support you if things aren’t quite going to plan.
Force free for everyone
I never use any training methods or tools that work by causing pain or fear, such as prong collars, shock collars, slip leads, leash corrections etc. I will always treat both you and your dog with respect, kindness and compassion and never knowingly make you feel judged or ashamed.
“Jenny was an absolute gem with my hyperactive Cavapoo, Mylo.
She is so full of knowledge, & I love her gentle approach. Mylo was instantly relaxed around her & the tips & tricks Jenny worked with me on are working a treat.
Thank you so much Jenny.”
