Hello, I'm Jenny! With a passion for creating lasting connections between pet parents and their furry companions, I bring over [insert number] years of experience in dog training to the table.

I pride myself on my ability to tailor programs that fit your needs, whether you have a spirited pup or a timid rescue.

I offer a flexible range of training options to accommodate your lifestyle. Whether you prefer in-person sessions, virtual training, or a hybrid option for Las Vegas locals, I am here to support you and your dog every step of the way.

As an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator, I ensure that every training session lays a strong foundation for your pet's success.

Customer Reviews

We love Jenny! I’ve had the opportunity to work with her twice, once in a virtual group setting and then later on we did some one-on-one coaching through a specific issue. She is a knowledgeable and compassionate dog trainer and I felt so comfortable talking with her about the issues I was having with my dog. She advised me on some new routines to help with cooperative care, muzzle training, and crate training to help my dog with his reactivity around the house and to strangers (we have a Great Pyrenees), and every one of her tips that I’ve applied has been great. I’d highly recommend reaching out to Jenny if you’re struggling with reactivity with your dog, and the virtual training option is such a game changer! I’ve spent thousands on in person training and lessons with other dog trainers that didn’t hold up in the long run; Jenny is the real deal!

We were at our wit's end with our reactive puppy until we found Jenny. Her compassionate but firm approach made all the difference in the world.

🐶 Certified Dog Trainers in Las Vegas, Nevada


Pet parents in Las Vegas and the surrounding Clark County area, including nearby communities such as Henderson, North Las Vegas, Paradise, Spring Valley, Sunrise Manor, Enterprise, Whitney, Winchester, Summerlin South, Boulder City, often look for a certified dog trainer who can help a dog and their people build a calm, trusting relationship. Trainers like Jenny Sims focus on positive, science-based methods that fit real life at home and in public. Whether the goal is leash pulling, anxiety, reactivity, or a well-mannered companion, a good trainer shapes each session around the dog’s personality, history, and learning style, so progress feels natural and sustainable.


❤️ Great dog training isn’t just about commands — it’s about connection.


Certified dog trainers work with you as the owner, not only with the dog. They help you read behavior, build clear communication, and set routines that hold up at home and in public. A trainer like Jenny is a coach for both of you.


✅ Training Support for Real-Life Challenges


From everyday manners to more complex behavioral concerns, certified dog trainers in Las Vegas commonly help with:


  • Obedience and focus for home and public settings

  • Leash training and more relaxed, enjoyable walks

  • Reducing anxiety, fear, and reactivity

  • Puppy and new dog foundations for long-term success

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers


When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.


For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Jenny Sims is one way to keep training grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about credentials, and confirming them on the profile, is one of the best ways to make a confident choice.


⭐ Why Pet Parents Book Through PetWorks


Booking through PetWorks gives you more than a list of dog trainers in Las Vegas. It gives you a clearer way to choose.


A profile like Jenny’s lets you review a local professional, read feedback from other pet parents, and book securely through a trusted platform. Many trainers on PetWorks use force-free, positive reinforcement methods grounded in modern behavioral science.

🦔 How Booking Dog Training in Las Vegas, NV on PetWorks Works


Finding the right dog trainer starts with trust and fit. On this page you can explore Jenny’s profile, read feedback from pet parents across Clark County, and either start a booking with "Book Now" or begin a conversation with "Get Custom Quote" or "Send Message".


Training works best when you begin at the right time. For puppies and newly adopted dogs, early training builds strong habits from the start. For older dogs, challenges like leash pulling, anxiety, or reactivity can improve with consistent, professional guidance, and many pet parents notice meaningful progress within a few sessions.


In Las Vegas and throughout Nevada, demand for experienced, force-free dog trainers often rises in spring and early fall, when routines shift and outdoor activity picks up. Booking a bit ahead can help you get a schedule that works.


Most dog training sessions across the U.S. typically range from $75–$150 per hour, depending on experience, location, and training type. On PetWorks, you can review the services on this profile and choose the option that matches your goals.


All payments are processed securely through PetWorks. Every booking also includes PetWorks Care Coverage, with a dedicated concierge team, added protection, and support throughout your experience. Once you connect, you coordinate scheduling, location, and training goals directly with your trainer.


❓ Dog Training FAQs


How many dog training sessions will I need? Every dog is different, but many pet parents begin to see progress within 2–4 sessions. More complex issues like reactivity or anxiety may take ongoing training and consistency at home.


Do dog trainers offer in-home sessions in Las Vegas, NV? Many trainers on PetWorks offer in-home sessions, local meetups, or virtual coaching. Check the services on Jenny’s profile, or use Get Custom Quote, to confirm what is available.


Can dog training help with aggressive or reactive behavior? Yes. Positive, science-based training can be very effective for reactivity, fear, and certain forms of aggression. A certified professional helps keep that progress safe and lasting.
