My Canine Companion - Certified Private Dog Trainer - Cadyville, NY

Member since Dec 2021

I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), a certified evaluator for A.K.C. S.T.A.R. Puppy, Canine Good Citizen (CGC), and Trick Dog titles, Therapy Dog trainer and evaluator, member of the Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT), the Pet Professional Guild (PPG) and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC).

I use only positive operant and respondent training methods. And believe that all training should be conducted in a manner that encourages dogs to enjoy the process, which will, in turn, lead them to become more confident and well-adjusted pets. I practice and promote only scientifically researched methods of training and behavior modification that are the least intrusive and most effective in my practice.

Clients have a choice of weekly small group classes, private training or live virtual training.

Please contact and book my private dog training sessions on Petworks. Have a great day!
