Who is Peak Performance K9?
My name is Jess, and along with my 3 musketeers, we are Peak Performance K9!
My journey began around 10 years ago with a dog reactive Beagle cross, Dexter. He opened up a whole new world for me around training, behavioural modification and dog sports. I wanted to delve deeper, know more, learn more, help more! After volunteering for Guide Dogs, I gained my golden girl, Suki, the dog that really sparked my dog training career.
You name it, we’ve done it! Obedience training, scentwork, hoopers, agility, gundog, tracking, tricks - Suki LOVES it all, if it involves food!
After climbing a few mountains, jumping through lots of hoops, and gaining two more dogs over the years, here we are today!
I love working with those ‘problem dogs’, the ‘difficult ones’ the ones that are ‘hard to live with’. I love being able to make a difference, working alongside owners, creating positive lasting change and most importantly helping owners build a bond with their dog!

“You must be the change you want to see in your dog..”

Did you know…
My favourite discipline is Gundog training. It combines obedience, complex behaviours and training, as well as being a great breed specific outlet! It also means I get to spend days in the beautiful British countryside with my dogs, there is nothing better!
