Did you know the dog training and behavior field is unregulated? Unlike professions requiring licenses or certifications, anyone can call themselves a “Dog Trainer” or behaviour expert without formal qualifications.
This makes it challenging to identify skilled professionals versus those using outdated or harmful methods.
While certifications are voluntary, many professionals uphold high standards, using science-based, humane techniques. I earned my credentials by passing comprehensive exams, submitting case studies, professional references, and demonstrating practical skills in behavior modification and coaching.
I maintain these credentials through continuing education and adherence to a strict Code of Ethics.
I am committed to progressive, welfare-focused methods, providing safe, effective training while advocating
for change and accountability in an industry lacking consistent standards.
