Yasmin Baylor is a KPA-CTP and CPDT-KA, a Certified Training Partner and graduate of the Karen Pryor Academy, as well as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer through the CCPDT accreditation council.
After earning her bachelor’s in computer science and graphic design, and working for years in the business world, she knew it was time to switch gears and commit her time to doing what she really loves.
She serves as a board member at large and a training consultant for Paws Humane Society and Animal Assisted Professionals, an organization that trains therapy dogs.
Years of experience have helped her to develop a style that is calm, confident, and patient. Teaching a family to better understand their dog, and watching as they build fulfilling relationships together is such a rewarding experience.
Being part of that journey is the highlight of her career. When dog training is a passion, extracurriculars come naturally.
She especially enjoys taking monthly continuing education courses with the brilliant trainers at Fenzi Dog Sports Academy, and she relishes the opportunity to learn something new every day from science-based training books, articles, and podcasts.
She’s the type of trainer who loves to share her knowledge with anyone who’s interested. She can be found out on her back patio late into the evenings, chatting about dog behavior with a friend over a glass of wine.
Her home is full of joy and adventure, thanks to her bright little daughter Claire, her playful Stabyhoun Fenna, Pangea and Zelda, her lovably grumpy cats, and Josh, her kind and supportive husband.
