The Soulful Pet - Dog Trainer - Animal Behaviorist - Sonoma County, CA
Hello there!
I’m Ruth, a passionate pet behaviorist with over 25 years of experience dedicated to improving the lives of cats, dogs, and their human companions. I hold degrees in biology and am a certified professional through esteemed organizations like the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC). I offer virtual consultations nationwide for a convenient flat rate of $125 for up to one hour, ensuring that I can help pet parents no matter where they are. For those located in Sonoma County, CA, I also provide personalized in-home consultations—just reach out to me for specific rates.
Blending science with intuition, I create a holistic approach to pet behavior modification. As an author of "Intuitive Evolution," I strive to bring a deeper understanding between pets and their owners. Whether it’s through intuitive readings, training with positive reinforcement techniques, or employing tools like clickers and harnesses, my goal is to foster a loving and respectful partnership between you and your furry friend. I cater to pets of all sizes, from under 20 lbs to over 80 lbs, and I pride myself on my flexible cancellation policy to accommodate your busy lifestyle.
Are you ready to enhance your pet's well-being and strengthen your bond? Let’s embark on this journey together! Book me through Petworks today, and let’s create a happier, healthier life for you and your beloved pets. I can’t wait to get started!
