Jessica Henderson

Hello, I’m Jessica Henderson! I’ve been training dogs and horses since we moved to Tennessee when I was in 4th grade. I was self taught in my animal training adventures – meaning lots of trial and error – until after I graduated with a B.S. in Psychology in 2007 from The University of the South. My first job after college was working on a horse breeding farm where I studied several professional methods of horse training to train the young ones up in the manner desired by our clients. I married my college sweetheart in 2013 and we have since collected a couple cats, a dog, and a horse on our small farm. I continued my animal-based education at The University of Tennessee and earned an Animal Science degree in 2015. In the spring of 2017, I fostered and finish-trained a service dog for a disabled veteran as a volunteer. Shortly after, our roommate adopted a large German Shepherd who had no manners, but a sweet personality.

With me being occupied because of the service dog training, my roommate contacted Sit Means Sit for help in dealing with her big guy. Jimmy Archuleta came out to the house to do a demonstration. We signed up and throughout the process I was continually impressed with how quickly and efficiently the training progressed. I have had a blast with the program and look forward to helping many others with their pups!
