Meet BZ's owner/trainer, Zelestia!

​Since Zelestia was little she's always been fascinated with animals. She went to college for Zoology, and although she did not finish school she learned a lot in the time she was there. She moved to Cleveland and met her partner and her dog Jasper. Jasper had severe human and dog aggression and in hopes to understand more about dog behavior she started working at a local dog training facility as a cleaner and was able to work her way into a kennel tech/dog walker role. During her time there she got the opportunity to learn and got experience as a handler. She moved to Colorado and continued her dog training career, where she worked at another local training facility. She has worked with a variety of breeds and behaviors. Her goal is to help owners build better relationships with their dogs!

Success Stories

Real Transformations, Real Satisfaction

"I worked with Brooklynn when I added a 2nd rescue pup to my household. She was 11 month old when I adopted her and had some major unraveling/training needs. BZ thought outside the box for what my pup needed and was able to establish a solid foundation for my relationship with my new pup. She was always available when I had questions and provided me with the tools I needed to have success in training at home. I'm really looking forward to showing her the progress and also having her work with me and my other pup soon. Easy to work with, extremely knowledgeable, and fun. Just a delight. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"

Berkley Aiken

"I worked with Zelestia! Her dedication and passion is truly commendable. BZ provided us with the guidance and tools to address our dog's behavior, and the results have been remarkable. We highly recommend their services to all dog owners!"

Nicole Montoya

"I worked with Brooklynn to teach my overly anxious dog how to stay calm and focus on me while outside. Brooklynn & Zelestia are SO helpful and made sure I understood all the training to help my dog succeed!"
