Think Like a Dog Training

Positive reinforcement, reward-based, engaging training for all breeds, ages, and sizes. I am also a certified Shelter/Nervous Dog Trainer.

Welcome to Think Like a Dog, a positive reinforcement-based dog training service based on the North Shore. During my 10+ years of experience working with dogs in many settings and in canine-related fields, I developed a fascination with the canine mind, how they learn, and how they impact our lives so wonderfully. I graduated college with a Business Administration degree ('19), explored every indu

stry possible (literally, from a bank teller, to a line cook, to a toy store associate), and found myself continuously working in dog-related jobs. I finally I realized I wasn't truly happy unless I was, in fact, with dogs. I made the greatest decision I ever could by enrolling in Animal Behavior College to obtain my National Dog Trainer Certification. My goals are to help dog parents to develop a positive, mutually-beneficial and enriching relationship with their dog, to problem solve, and teach new behaviors through positive, reward-based training, owner education, and lots of treats and praise. I offer a plethora of services and products such as: private lessons, group classes, at-home guides, virtual and in-person consultations, and lesson packages.

*You may notice group classes are not available to book at this time. This is due to the season, and inclement weather for outdoor group classes. Group classes for both puppies and adults will begin on 03/01/2022. I am based out of Salem, MA, and I travel to you for our sessions. I travel to the following cities/towns: Salem, Peabody, Beverly, Danvers, Topsfield, Hamilton/Wenham, Gloucester, Wakefield, Lynnfield, and Reading. (Please note: I do not service Marblehead, Swampscott, Lynn, or Nahant). Please don't hesitate to contact me using the form below if you have any questions or want to book a consultation! I will respond within 24 hours, excluding holidays, and my dog's birthday! Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my page. I look forward to working with you and your dog! Say hello to your dog for me,

Jessi Tassinari, ABCDT

P.S. you'll see many photos of a little brown dog with giant ears--she is my 16 year old Rat Terrier, Nestle! Connect with me on LinkedIn

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!! Our furry friends like to be involved, but make sure you know which foods you can/can't share with your pups. As a certified Canine CPR/First-Aid Instructor, I spend a lot of time answering questions about what human foods dogs can safely consume. This is the best chart around to answer that question! As always, if you are unsure, err on the side of caution and don't share it with your pet!

This season is no small feat for small businesses. We work so hard to be seen in a world that is set up for corporations. This holiday season, please consider supporting a small business this holiday season, whether it's sharing a post, tagging them in a post, purchasing goods/services from them, giving them a shoutout, and even placing their business cards/flyers in your community. Even word-of-mouth helps more than you know!! Starting tomorrow, 11/23/2023, I'm offering 10% off all training packages until Christmas Eve!!! Contact me for more info or if you are interested! Ends 11:59PM on 12/24/2023.

Another weekend has flown by in a flash. So, here’s a still, snowy Edinburgh photo to gently ease you into the new week.

We’ll be heading to the Highlands for our next Scottish adventure, so hoping for a wee dusting if the white stuff for the boy to play in. ❄️ ⛄️

Happy 2nd anniversary of the founding of Think Like a Dog Training!!

There's something to be said about building a business from scratch. It's a feeling of pride and freedom. You can step back and say, "I made this" and know that you truly did--no one handed you anything, no one aided you financially, just you, your laptop, and all your crazy ideas.
Think Like a Dog Training started out as a side hustle, became an LLC, grew to include a podcast, CPR/First Aid certification classes, in-process publications, and ultimately, one of my greatest possessions. It's never about profit for me, it's about being happy doing what I love and using my passion to educate others. I'm so incredibly proud to say I built this from a little spark of an idea into an opportunity for me to continue to change the world of canines and bring a new perspective into behavior modification, and understanding our dogs down to pathology and psychology.
My heart and soul is in dogs, and that will never change.

This weather has really been a bummer for me because almost all of my outdoor appointments have to be postponed 😞 thank you to everyone who has been so patient with the rescheduling and fitting in their sessions on different days of the week. I wish I could control the weather for us. 😂

Thank you Chelsea, MA for having me! I’m so glad I got to teach CPR and first aid to some truly awesome people! Stay tuned for more certification classes coming to the North Shore!!

A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR THE LATEST GRADUATE 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Elvis is a 4 year old Yorkie who needed some work being around people, other dogs, sounds, and stimuli, and we also learned “come!” He’s an absolute rockstar. He is able to walk by people without barking, able to say hello to people and dogs, and comes when called. It’s been such a pleasure working with him ♥️

Ever heard of a "behavior chain"? It's when we teach a dog a certain verbal cue means "perform these three things then you get a treat". It takes multiple sessions and steps to teach this, but look how incredible Miss Luna can show off her behavior chain of Come, Touch, Sit! #dogtraining #positivereinforcementdogtraining #womanownedbusiness #siberianhusky
