Meet Your Trainer

My name is Jennifer Billot and I am the founder of Bone Ball Bark, a dog training and behaviour company in West London. I am an MSc qualified dog trainer who has worked with thousands of dogs on both sides of the Atlantic, and my approach to dog training breaks down the varying aspects of a dog’s development and learning style into easy to cover chunks. My methodology is backed by decades of scientific data, and I will only use force-free techniques in our training.

My job is to ensure that both the human and dog end of the leash feels supported, empowered, and committed to the process. I have a consistent 5* rating and pride myself in my bespoke services that get us to your goals.

Dog Support

I have worked with many different breeds of dogs, with varying training and behaviour goals. No two dogs are the same which is why training with me will give you a bespoke plan, meeting your dog where they are at, and working to improve their life and behaviour.

Human Support

Whether you have a new puppy, or a behavioural issue with an older dog, I have been there! Living in a city environment, with other commitments is challenging, and I work hard to support you through the ups and downs of behaviour change with realistic goals and plans.

I believe that dog training should be fun, effective, and rooted in science and my mission is to help owners build a strong, lasting bond with their dogs using force-free, reward-based training methods.

With over a decade of experience and more than 1,500 dogs trained across the UK and the USA, I have worked with dogs of all breeds, ages, and backgrounds—helping them become confident companions.

Whether you’re welcoming a new puppy, addressing behavioural challenges, or refining your dog’s skills, I offer a range of training options to suit your needs. My services include in-person private training, group puppy classes, and online coaching, as well as a comprehensive self-paced puppy course for owners who prefer to train at their own pace. Every session is designed to be practical, engaging, and tailored to each individual dog, ensuring both you and your pup enjoy the learning process. Commitment from the human end of the leash is vital, and I ensure that I only work with teams that are willing to fully engage with the process.

At Bone Ball Bark, I take pride in using ethical, science-backed training techniques that prioritise your dog’s wellbeing. I never use aversive methods—only force free methods to create a relationship built on trust and mutual understanding. My goal is to empower you with the skills and knowledge needed to raise a happy, well-adjusted dog, no matter where you are in your training journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

What training methods does Bone Ball Bark use?

At Bone Ball Bark, I follow science-backed, reward-based training methods that promote learning through positive reinforcement. This means we focus on teaching and encouraging desirable behaviours, rather than punishing unwanted ones. My approach is ethical, effective, and tailored to each dog’s unique needs, ensuring a stress-free and enjoyable learning experience.

What types of dogs do you work with?

Where do your training sessions take place?

What commitment is required from us, the owners?

Training skills and modifying behaviour takes time and consistency. My plans are designed to keep progress moving forward, and to keep owners engaged and participating consistently. There are no quick fixes to behaviour modification and we talk about realistic goals and expectations during our consults, and modify bespoke plans continuously to get results!
