In an unregulated industry, it’s crucial to work with trainers you can trust— professionals with the skills to train your pets ethically.

Our team consists of vetted experts in the science of animal behavior, bringing a combined 55+ years of hands-on positive reinforcement experience. We’ve worked with hundreds of species and individual animals in accredited facilities, in the community, and through global conservation initiatives—helping species from big cats in Nepal to local wildlife.

Our education includes a Karen Pryor Academy certification, teachings and certifications from Dr. Susan Friedman, mentorship under Wouter Stellaard and the Natural Encounters Inc. team, and ongoing education—all dedicated to improving the lives of both humans and their beloved pets.
