Mentorship and Training
I am a Mentor Trainer with Animal Behavior College, mentoring students that are going through the program. This has proven to be beneficial to my clients because the students come to the classes and help out. Because of this, the clients get more one-on-one training.
Seminar Attendee
I have attended several training seminars from top Science and Behavior professionals such as: Ian Dunbar, Chris Bach, Virgina Broitman, Sue Sternberg, Joey Iverson & Pat Miller. I have also attend a phenomenal Science of Animal Behavior Conference featuring local veterinary behaviorists, Dr. Theresa DePorter and Dr. Marie Hopfensperger. Additionally, I have taken a Vet Tech course and attended several pet first aid seminars.
Animal Rescue Volunteer
I am a volunteer with a local dog rescue, offering my services free of charge to the fosters, helping the dogs to become more adoptable and to work through any issues they may be having.
If you are involved with a local rescue, contact me if you would like to get fosters into my basic classes. They must not be dog reactive.
