Puppy Socialization and Tweens Class
About Cara:
As a dog owner of five, my love for dogs has been central to my existence!
My passion and natural connection for animals began at an early age. It all started with
a budgie, then a dog, a rabbit, a (challenging) horse and a truly fortunate experience
handling and training owls and hawks at the American Bald Eagle Foundation in
Haines, Alaska. This incredible opportunity strengthened my understanding of the
importance and power of positive reinforcement in all training.
Over the years, the various animals I have trained and gained understanding through
have all taught me something unique which in turn enhanced my dog training skills.
Additionally, I obtained my formal dog training certificate through the Animal Behaviour
College where I graduated with honors.
I look forward to offering a fun experience for you and your pet as we work together to
unlock your canine friend’s greatest potential.
