Our Mission

Peaceful Dog Leadership provides training and in-home boarding services focused on uniting owner and dog through trust, respect, and love. Peaceful Dog Leadership training is customized to meet the needs of each individual owner and their dog or dogs in the Lincoln, Nebraska area.

Jackie is your personal Dog Behavior Coach, and her goal is to strengthen communication between owners and their dogs to establish a peaceful and balanced pack. Jackie received her Certified Dog Trainer Certificate from the Animal Behavior College in 2017. She is also certified in the Communicative Leashwork Process (TM) and completed an eight-month Dog Training Apprenticeship Program through Life Changing Dog Training in 2020.

Individualized Training

Let Jackie help you with any issues you are currently experiencing with your dog — whether pulling on the leash, ignoring your command to come, barking or jumping at the front door when guests arrive, reacting to neighbor dogs in the backyard or peeing in the house.

Jackie will assess your dog’s behavior, teach you how to understand what your dog is communicating, demonstrate how to solve the problem, and then work with you until you are confident and able to take appropriate action on your own.

Boarding

Dogs boarding with Peaceful Dog Leadership are supervised at all times in a dog-friendly home environment. Although dogs who are boarding each have their own “safe space” crates in the heart of the family’s living space, they also spend time, just as they would at home, freely moving around the house interacting with the other dogs and humans.

Boarding dogs enjoy supervised play time in the yard and plenty of potty breaks.

Dog Adventures, Adventure Walks & Training

When there's just too much going on, but your best friend needs some attention, make an arrangement for Jackie to take your dog on an adventure at the park or on a hiking trail, or join Jackie for a hands-on Adventure Walk & Training Session.

Your best friend might also benefit from learning a command while they are on an adventure.

Structured Training

Structured training for you and your dog will take place in your dog's own home/environment. Jackie will assess your situation and your dog’s needs and address your most pressing concern about your dog’s behavior.

You can expect to learn new ways to communicate with your dog and better understand how your dog communicates with you. You can also expect immediate improvement from your dog.

Adventure Outing

Pick-Up & Drop-Off

2 hours - $40

I pick your dog up at your home and take them on an adventure. We might explore a trail, a park, or a new neighborhood. Your dog gets exercise, fresh sights and smells, and time to practice good manners in the real world. When we're done, I bring them home tired, happy, and ready to relax.

New! Meet-Up Session

Want to join in on the fun? Meet me at a park or trail, and we'll walk together. This is a hands-on training session for you and your dog.

As we walk, I'll show you how to handle everyday challenges, including:

  • Passing other dogs, people, bikes, and strollers calmly
  • Handling distractions like squirrels, rabbits, and loud noises
  • Navigating obstacles such as bridges, stairs, narrow paths, and uneven ground
  • Practicing loose-leash walking and keeping your dog's focus on you

You'll leave with practical skills and increased confidence for future walks.
