Susan Light - CPDT-KA Private Dog Trainer - Los Angeles, CA
As a seasoned pet professional with a deep passion for animal behavior, I specialize in reward-based training techniques that are scientifically proven to achieve effective results. Whether you're looking to train puppies, pet dogs, reactive dogs, service dogs, or therapy dogs, my diverse expertise can help guide you and your furry friend through the process. I hold esteemed credentials, including being an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Approved Evaluator (AKC CGC), Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), and an Animal Behavior College Certified Dog Trainer (ABCDT). Additionally, my Pet Tech PetSaver Pet First Aid and CPR certification ensures your pet is in safe hands during every session.
Serving the Los Angeles area since 2019, I'm committed to providing personalized and convenient training solutions. I offer in-person sessions all over Los Angeles, and for those outside this area, I provide highly effective video sessions via Google Meet. These online sessions are recorded, allowing you to revisit our training and continue progressing at your own pace. This flexibility makes it easy for busy families to integrate quality training into their routines. I also extend my services to cats, ensuring a comprehensive approach to pet behavior modification and training.
To make your training experience even more rewarding, I offer discounts for packs of multiple sessions. Plus, I'm the host of the Enlightened Pet Behavior Podcast, where you can gain additional insights into pet training on platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
