Our Mission
To enhance the human-animal bond through positive, humane training and
education.
Dog & Cat
is located in Eugene, OR. We provide group classes and private training
and behavior counseling for all ages of dogs and cats. I first started training
animals part-time 7 years ago as a volunteer for a shelter in San Diego,
California. Part-time volunteer work turned into a full-time passion working
at San Diego Humane Society & SPCA in their cutting edge Behavior &
Training Department. I love working with animals and their owners to help
create lasting, loving relationships. I am a Certified
Pet Dog Trainer (only 37 in the state of Oregon), and have worked with
and trained dogs, cats, birds, horses, and goats!
What
is a Certified Pet Dog Trainer (CPDT)?
Certified Pet Dog Trainers are certified by the Certification Counsel
for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT). The certification program is based
on humane training practices and the latest scientific knowledge related
to dog training. Competence and continued growth in training practices
is promoted through CCPDTs recertification program. Re-certification is required every three years. Visit CCPDT
for more information.
