Emotional Support for Families and Pets After graduating from film school, Jessica began her career as a video editor. Her face was crushed.
(3)

She began volunteering at an animal shelter in her free time; walking dogs, raising kittens, and performing pre-home inspections. During this time, her cat, Milkshake, went missing. After days of searching high and low, Milkshake was eventually found under the neighbour’s shed. Dehydrated and in severe pain, she was raced to the vet, where she stayed for a week and underwent multiple surgeries. Mi

lkshake’s sister, Foosball, was pining for her at home. But when Milkshake returned, Foosball seemed to have amnesia; she went straight for the attack! With the help of a behaviourist, the cats were able to rebuild their relationship. Working through the behaviour modification programme, Jess realised that although she had always loved animals, she knew nothing about their behaviour! She has since qualified as a ThinkingPets Conti-Puppy instructor, holds the OCN UK accredited Diploma through the Centre of Applied Pet Ethology. She is accredited with the CAPBT, ICAN, and the Animal Behaviour Consultants of South Africa. She marks and tutors the Diploma course for COAPE International. Jessica serves on the committee for the Midrand SPCA to improve the welfare of the animals in their care, specifically focusing on behaviour problem prevention, and public education. After having children, Jessica developed a keen interest in early child development. Her second-born son developed a seizure disorder, which required a shift away from conventional parenting. This drove her to become a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator. This deep understanding of animal and human emotion allows her to offer unrivalled support for the families with whom she works. Jessica is a co-founder of the Conscious Parenting Association South Africa. Jessica is currently studying Bachelor of Applied Social Science through SACAP.
She remains well trained by her dogs, cats, chickens, ducks, rats, and two young sons.

Our Story

For a very long time, it was believed that dogs (and many other animals) were driven purely by automatic responses to environmental stimuli. The science of canine cognition and emotionality has now proven that dogs experience many emotions in the same way that humans do. I’m sure you’re thinking, “Heck, I could’ve told you that dogs have emotions!” And while you’re right—it was pretty obvious all along that our pets have a wide spectrum of emotional experiences, it’s fabulous to have the science to back it up! Having come from a background in welfare, my primary goal is to prevent the problem behaviours that land animals in such a situation. Since behavioural problems far outweigh medical conditions as the primary reason for relinquishment/euthanasia, early training and socialization can literally save thousands of pets’ lives. So at Best Behaviour™, we use the science of learning and behaviour to teach dogs how to be the absolute best versions of themselves, while building a lasting bond with you, their guardian and most valued companion.
