Job Title: Force-Free Positive Reinforcement Dog Trainer
At Country Acres Dog Academy, the trainer utilizes force-free positive reinforcement to assist clients and their dogs in achieving their training objectives. With a training philosophy rooted in force-free positive reinforcement, the academy serves the Reno/Sparks area.
Having been born and raised in Reno, NV, the trainer has always harbored a deep passion for working with and caring for animals. Initially, their career began as a dog trainer at a board and train dog training facility, where they had the opportunity to train various breeds in basic manners and obedience. Subsequently, they pursued a career in animal care, obtaining a Veterinary Technician License in 2011. This allowed them to gain extensive experience in the care of not only dogs and cats but also research animals such as monkeys.
Despite finding this work rewarding, the trainer always yearned to do more to share their passion for the human-animal bond. This led them to realize a lifelong dream in 2021: becoming a full-time dog trainer. Upon graduating from the Animal Behavioral College, they established Country Acres Dog Academy, aiming to impart their knowledge of dog training and physiology to clients. Their primary objective is to implement force-free positive training methods tailored to the individual needs of both clients and their dogs.
The trainer finds the most gratifying aspect of their work in observing how training can assist owners in fostering a positive and rewarding relationship with their four-legged companions.
