Behave Atlanta Dog Training and Animal Behavior - Atlanta, GA

Member since Dec 2021

At Behave Atlanta, we take one behaviorist and add one trainer to make a team that can address your pet’s greatest needs. Amy Campbell, a certified pet dog trainer (CPDT-KA), brings over ten years experience in dog services and Lillian Ciardelli, an associate certified applied animal behaviorist (ACAAB), has researched animal behavior across many species, focusing on individual welfare. They’ve joined forces to help you understand behavior, and how to modify it.

Choose from our Be Good, Behave, and The Cat Department offerings. Be good is the right option for you if
your pet is doing fine, but you just want them to “be good!” The “Behave” Track is for those in designed to help dogs with serious behavior concerns, such as separation anxiety, inter-dog aggression, leash reactivity, fear/anxiety, resource guarding, etc. And the Cat Department can help you basic cat and kitten concerns like play-biting and scratching furniture, as well as more serious behavioral problems like litter box issues, inter-cat aggression and human-directed aggression.

Recommended Certifications for Dog Trainers


When choosing a dog trainer, professional certifications are a strong indicator of expertise, experience, and commitment to ethical, science-based methods. Widely recognized credentials include the CPDT-KA or CPDT-KSA from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, which demonstrate mastery of modern training techniques, canine behavior, and learning theory. The KPA-CTP (Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner) highlights trainers skilled in positive reinforcement and clicker training, while the IAABC Certified Dog Trainer credential, recognized internationally, signals advanced knowledge in behavior modification and problem-solving. Membership or certification through the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) further reflects ongoing education and adherence to ethical standards. Many trainers also pursue specialty certifications in areas such as aggression management, behavior modification, or puppy development to address specific challenges.


For pet parents, choosing a certified trainer like Amy Campbell, ensures that your dog’s training is grounded in science, safety, and compassion. Asking about a trainer’s credentials is one of the best ways to make a confident, informed choice.
