Scott went from the Marines to CA where he bought a sailboat. In 1988, he moved to CA “permanently”. Scott’s been sober for 30 years. Scott goes into dogs as a hobby and something fun to do. Around 2005, Scott started dog training. Eventually, he returned to MA to care for a sick parent. Jess hails from Illinois. She had border collies from a young age. Jess got involved in canine frisbee at 7 years old. She competed in the world finals. Besides Frisbee, she dabbled in canine agility. Jess was a psychology major focused on animal behavior. Jess and Scott met at a conference in Wisconsin. Scott was primarily focused on boarding and training. Jess and Scott collaborated on a canine fitness class. They later worked with a lot of dogs with aggression and anxiety issues. Things shifted a bit – clients seemed less willing to put in the training effort and create structure for the dog. They noticed a void in the industry and filled it with Canine Healing. Canine Healing aims to help both the dog and the owner with anxiety issues.
