I have always been fascinated by human and animal behaviour.
My name is Jackie Braggs and I originally graduated with a degree in Economics. I have a background is in research and insight, with a focus on brand-marketing and consumer decision-making.
My understanding of the role of emotion in human decision-making was a great first step towards the study of animal behaviour and learning. This enables me to empathise with and support owners whilst working with them and their puppies.

Working with Jackie
So what do you need to know about me?
I love working with puppies for many reasons, not least of all because they fill my heart with love every time I’m with them! I think most of all, I find it extremely rewarding to nurture a puppy on its own unique journey to become its very best self; a resilient, well-rounded, well-adjusted little individual and much loved companion. It is a privilege to share a small part of that journey and help owners by sharing knowledge, support and training.
If I’m not training puppies you will find me at home with my cats Casper and Dylan or enjoying some gardening time.
