About

Jessica Cagnina

Owner + Trainer of Loyalty Unleashed RVA

Hi! I’m Jess, a professional dog trainer with a background in both dog training and veterinary medicine. This allows me to take a well-rounded, balanced approach to training.

Every session will combine clear structure, fair expectations, and positive reinforcement to create reliable behavior that carries over into everyday situations.

My goal is to build strong communication between you and your dog, while providing the tools and confidence needed to maintain lasting results.

When I’m not training or boarding dogs, I’m fine tuning my sourdough skills, exploring local trails with my dogs, attending live music events, and trying new restaurants.
