Hey, I’m Jess...
We don’t fight your dogs worries. We build confidence.
Talashire started with a Spaniel called Jasper, who grew to be fear reactive. Wanting to understand him better led me deep into the world of behaviour, fear reactivity and the emotional struggles so many dogs and owners face daily.
Along the way, I discovered a love for gundog work. Realising Jasper wasn’t quite suited to that path, I welcomed Arlo into my life and began developing my knowledge and passion for training working dogs.
Later came Eden, my Malinois, whose deep-rooted genetic anxiety opened my eyes to an entirely different world of canine behaviour, separation anxiety, nervous systems, genetics and the complexity of truly anxious dogs.
Living with her was intense. Challenging and at times heartbreaking. Some days reduced me to tears. But eventually, everything changed when I stopped trying to “fix” her and started working with her guiding her, understanding her and building trust. That’s when our relationship truly blossomed and our connection came back stronger than ever.
Today, I’ve helped hundreds of anxious and reactive dogs reconnect with their owners, giving people the confidence to enjoy real life with their dogs again! From calm walks to coffee shop visits. My methods aren’t just theory; they’re built on lived experience and proven results.
I help owners really understand their dogs.
Not just managing their emotions, but understanding what’s going on in that busy little brain of theirs.

Meet Arlo
He’s my pro gundog and he comes out shooting with me every season since 2021. He stooges all my gundog sessions and you’ll see him in the woodland classes!
Meet Eden
She’s my little anxiety bean and the one who ignited my love for helping dogs with busy little brains. You’ll see Eden most of the time, she stooges a lot of my 1-1's and classes.
Meet Raven
Raven spends her time out on walkies, enjoying a snuggle or prepping for her next trial! You’ll see Raven in a lot of Urban Classes!
Meet Bee
I got Bee back in 2022 as a gundog to join the team, she still comes out on shoots every year and stooges some of my gundog classes but she mainly spends her days as a sofa dog!
Meet Hugo
Hugo came to me back in 2024 as a residential. He was a severe case of resource guarding. I then kept Hugo on as the owners decided they wanted to rehome him. So I fully rehabilitated him and now he’s a working gundog every season and stooges my gundog classes!
Meet Otis
The most recent to the gang. Otis came to me on a rehome rehabilitation later in 2025. He had resource guarding issues with food and issues around the home. He is now being trained up as a scent work dog and enjoying life as a pet working dog!
