Dog Trainer, CPDT-KA. I have been working with animals in the city since 2015, first as a dog walker, and then as an animal trainer. Having completed a multi-year apprenticeship which included a stint as an animal wrangler for goats and chickens on Broadway’s Once On This Island, I received my CTDI and CPDT-KA training certifications, and am working on continuing education with a goal of advanced certifications in the future and an ever increasing knowledge of behavior and training.
