Family-Owned. Dog-Loved. Results-Driven.
At Jaybird Dog Training, we believe great dogs start with great relationships. We’re a small, family-run business built on a simple philosophy: treat every dog like one of our own. Based right here in DeKalb, IL, our family – including myself Shea and my wife Jess – work side-by-side to help dogs and their humans build better, lasting bonds. From first sit to full-fledged off-leash freedom, we combine years of hands-on experience with proven animal learning theory and canine psychology. Whether you’re looking to solve problem behaviors or simply want a more joyful, obedient companion, it all starts with a free 30-minute consultation. Let’s talk about your dog’s journey!
