Our Journey
Bianca is the owner of and head trainer for Magnolia Dog Training. Her training journey began, as many do, by rescuing her own reactive dog. She hired a trainer that specializes in reactivity and aggression for help. As they began working together, she became interested in the science behind how dogs learn and the positive, force-free ways to help with various behavioural issues. Within a month, she began joining this trainer on the weekends for private lessons and going to as many group classes possible to gain more knowledge. She mentored under this trainer for about a year and a half, the main focus being on aggression/reactivity. In that time, she worked hands on with clients, starting with walks, walk and trains, assisting in group classes including a reactive dog class, private puppy session and moving more into dog-dog aggression and some dog-human aggression. She has completed the Karen Pryor Academy’s Dog Trainer Foundations course, Walks & Wags Pet First Aid Certification, on-line courses and seminars and also received her biggest achievement so far, her certification through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. Continuing education is key and Bianca regularly attends seminars, workshops and events, as well as takes on-line courses and participates in webinars. She hopes to enroll in the Karen Pryor Academy’s Dog Trainer Professional program soon. We look forward to helping and guiding you with your training journey!
