Jeannine Wilman is one of the owners, Dog Trainers, and Canine Behavioral Consultants at Pack Academy. Her passion for working with dogs started at the age of 11 with her childhood terrier mix, Rocky. Whether it was teaching him to ride alongside her on a bike or feeling like they could communicate without words, Rocky sparked a lifelong love for understanding dogs.

Jeannine went on to earn a B.A. in Psychology, which led her to a career in Applied Behavioral Science. In 2016, she started working as an ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) Technician with individuals with Autism, where she gained hands-on experience in behavior modification techniques. It wasn’t long before she realized how well these techniques could be adapted to help dogs and their families.

Over the past seven years, Jeannine has worked with countless dogs facing challenges like fear reactivity, aggression, and socialization issues. She’s especially passionate about helping rescue dogs make the transition to their new homes and supporting families in building strong, positive relationships with their dogs. Jeannine has also completed in-depth studies in fear reactivity, behavioral analysis, obedience, and behavior modification training, and she continues to stay up-to-date with the latest, science-based methods through ongoing education.

Her clients often talk about the incredible changes they see in their dogs. From once-nervous pups finding their confidence to rescued dogs finally feeling at home, Jeannine loves seeing these transformations firsthand. She knows that every dog is unique, so she customizes her training plans to fit each dog’s personality and needs, always aiming to create a safe and supportive environment for learning.

Jeannine’s approach is compassionate and grounded in real-world experience, making her well-prepared to guide families through even the toughest behavioral challenges. She believes that with the right guidance and understanding, every dog has the potential to thrive. Jeannine looks forward to helping more families discover the joy of a well-balanced and happy dog.

Diana Suarez is one of the owners and dog trainers at Pack Academy. She became a business partner in 2022 after beginning an apprenticeship with Jeannine Wilman. Diana’s path into dog
training is shaped by her unique background, which began in Argentina, where she practiced Chinese medicine. This experience gave her a deep understanding of energy flow and balance—principles that now play a key role in her dog training approach.

Her knowledge of Chinese medicine, combined with her years as a professional Tango dancer, allows Diana to connect with dogs in a way that feels intuitive and natural. In both practices, she
learned to read subtle cues and communicate without words—skills that seamlessly transferred to her work with dogs. Whether it’s through balancing energy in the body or understanding a dog’s body language, Diana’s training approach is rooted in creating harmony and clear communication between dogs and their owners.

Diana specializes in potty training, basic commands, and leash training—areas where she has seen great success with dogs of all ages. Her approach is grounded in patience, consistency,
and positive reinforcement, and she strives to make training not just effective, but also fun and engaging for both dogs and their families.

Known for her caring and playful nature, Diana builds trust with dogs through gentle, clear interactions. She is always seeking new ways to expand her knowledge and refine her skills to
better serve the dogs and families she works with. Diana looks forward to continuing her growth as a trainer and as a partner in helping to create stronger, happier relationships between dogs
and their owners.

Jayden loves to assist in socializing the puppies to be comfortable with kids playing and petting. He's an animal lover. One of his most recent successful socialization projects was with his two feeder rats Harry and Frizzy. Both rats were fearful to human touch and today they come running out for any human hand to say hello. In the future, he wants his first dog to be a Long-Haired Applehead Chihuahua.
