About Us

Jen Digate is a pet dog trainer who believes animal training should be accessible,
positive and clear. She is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers, an
organization committed to humane dog training through on-going education.

Jen spent five years at the Wisconsin Humane Society matching people with the dog of
their dreams, evaluating dogs for safety and in-taking dogs who needed to find a new
home. She has handled thousands of dogs and cats in the shelter, made behavioral
programs for challenging dogs and taught group training classes since 2001. Jen lives
with five incredible mixed breeds but welcomes all dogs into her classes.

She first started teaching humans and animals together in 1990 when she ran a small
stable of 15 horses, teaching all levels of horseback riding for the Black Hawk Council of
Girl Scouts. She ran the barn from 1990-1996 and developed skills of communication,
choreography, safety and control.

Jen also spent time in Florida working for The Exotic Bird Hospital, a veterinary clinic for
parrots, where she learned how to read the body language of and handle everything from
finches to Macaws. She lives with several parrots of her own and is experimenting with
free flight training using a new product called "the aviator leash"

Her work with horses, parrots, cats, and dogs contributes to her overall understanding of
animals and is a particular strength she brings to the table when working with your pet.
