Jillian Rich

Hi! My name is Jillian Rich. I am a dog trainer with a passion for animals and improving the relationship between owners and their beloved pets. I moved to Bloomington, Indiana in 2018 and started Mannered Mutts July 15th, 2018. I live here with my partner Kendall, daughter Lorelai, and dog Dixie. Dixie is famous around here. You will notice her face is all over our website, building and shirts. She is our special mascot. I studied dog training at the Tom Rose School and graduated at the top of my class. I did my undergraduate studies at the University of Tampa. I am experienced in basic, advanced, and competition level obedience, tracking, tricks, scent work, agility, and behavior modification training for anxious, reactive, and aggressive dogs. I do not discriminate against dogs I train based on their breed, age, or size. I will work with you and your dog to meet your needs. I enjoy cooking, traveling, dog sports, running, crossfit, reading, and local community events.

I am also a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen and AKC Trick Dog Evaluator.
​
From 2019-2023, I served as the Executive Director of Mannered Mutts Rescue, Inc, a Bloomington based 501(c)3 non-profit dog rescue seeking to help homeless animals get the love and training they need to get adopted into amazing forever homes.
