Back in march i rescued my husky Achilles and quickly found out that i was in dire need of some training let alone my puppy lol. i came into contact with Giavanna and Jess on one of first walks and i am so very thankful that i made that call. The progress I have made with Achilles and all that i have learned and applied in my day the day with him since the training began has not only helped Achilles but has taught me so much and allowed to me to grow as an owner. I'm a first time Dog owner and i'm truly grateful for Giavanna and Jess for everything i have learned so that i can provide the best life for my Dog. thank you and i hope to to continue training down the line to better my knowledge.

Gia and Jess have been an absolute life saver. I started 6 week private lessons for my dog Gallagher to help with his resource guarding, impulse control and overall obedience. Since working with by my side, Gallagher has gained so much confidence and were able to really get some of his unnecessary behaviors under control. After the 6 weeks of privates we’ve decided to continue for another 6 weeks so that we can build upon the foundation Gia and Jess helped us form, and emulate situations where Gallaghers training will come in handy! I cannot say enough about By My Side, they’re amazing trainers and they’re my gallys favorite girls! Can’t thank them and recommend them enough !!!! 🥰

We had a wonderful experience with Giavanna and Jess. They are professional, knowledgeable, informative and personable. They gave us one on one lessons to help our newly rescued dog behave. They modeled, then watched us follow their lead. They gave us notes with precise steps for everything they taught, so that we could practice at home. All these lessons were personalized and tailored specifically to address our dog’s needs and our concerns. We are so grateful ! We thank you and Buddy thanks you too!

It had been a while since we had a puppy. Especially, one that was 8 months old and almost 80 pounds. The ladies taught us how to control her energy, set boundaries, and basically express to her that she does not make the rules, we do. Doing this while still maintaining a bond of love and respect with our puppy.
The change over 6 sessions was startling. Thanks to Jess and Gia for showing how to interact and interpret our amazing puppy.
