Rebekah began her professional animal training career at the age of 21, working for a corporation where she was mentored by an exceptional individual who emphasized the strength in gentleness. She learned that skillful trainers rely less on force and more on creativity and adaptability. She emphasizes the importance of understanding each animal's biological and personal needs, as no two animals are alike. Her extensive experience with dogs of varying temperaments and motivations has taught her that training is not always straightforward. Some dogs require a more creative approach tailored to their individual needs, rather than resorting to immediate negativity. She underscores the significance of the bond and trust shared with dogs, emphasizing that willingly obtained behaviors are more effective than those achieved through fear or pain.
