About Palmer Pet Care

Positive reinforcement training in Leander

Palmer Pet Care is a Leander pet care business run by Jes, offering dog training, pet sitting and dog walking. It cites experience and expertise since 2002, when Jes began in the pet care industry as a kennel technician at a veterinary clinic in Round Rock.

Background

Jes spent 15 years as a veterinary technician in specialty, emergency and general practices, then worked with a local no-kill rescue, which sparked her interest in training. She describes herself as an accredited training instructor and a Fear Free certified professional, and her veterinary background helps her spot potential health issues early.

Training sessions

Training uses positive reinforcement, rewarding desired behavior rather than focusing on punishment, to build obedience, reduce reactivity, grow confidence and keep dogs safe. Individual sessions are $50 for 30 minutes, suited to young puppies or older dogs, and $85 for 60 minutes, with room for advanced obedience, off-leash work or reactivity. Packages are $285 for three hours and $540 for six hours. Sessions can target obedience, leash manners, socialization, jumping, barking and pulling.
