For over 20 years, Cindy has devoted herself to the care, understanding, and development of the human-animal bond. Her philosophy is that when we bring animals into our world we have a responsibility to work with them through training to not only manage that shared world, but to thrive in it. Her goal is to keep dogs in their homes forever, and help their human companions reap the joys and rewards

that such relationships bring. Her work started with fostering animals, working with each as an individual to ensure they would have the best possible chance for success in a new home. In 2010, she realized she could make a more direct impact by applying her years of experience and knowledge to working intimately with dogs and their humans, fostering positive and compassionate communication and a fun, meaningful, rewarding relationship. Cindy is a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP) and has served as Apprentice for the Calgary Humane Society, teaching behaviour classes and working on assessments of incoming animals. She is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT KA) and a Certified Behaviour Consultant Canine (CBCC KA) and has countless hours of first-hand experience working with almost every conceivable behavioral situation. Cindy volunteers extensively with organizations including the Animal Rescue Foundations of Alberta and Ontario (ARF), the Calgary Humane Society and Little Mittens Rescue Society.

🐾 **Meet Bert: A Loving Pooch in Search of His Forever Home!** 🐾

Bert is hoping for a special miracle—finding a loving forever home! This charming pup, with an abundance of affection and a wagging tail, dreams of a warm spot to call his own.

Bert is friendly and playful, getting along well with both people and other pets. He enjoys going for walks, playing with toys, and snuggling for some quality cuddle time. While Bert has not been tested with cats, he may thrive better in a cat-free home, although a slow, supervised introduction could be an option.

If you’re seeking to bring joy and companionship into your life, please consider opening your heart and home to Bert. Together, you can create beautiful memories and share love all year long.

Help Bert find his forever home! 🏠❤️ If you're interested in adopting Bert, kindly fill out an application. Donations are always appreciated! ❤️

This weekend was one of the more@epic adventures with the team. A few weeks ago we had a report of a trumpeter swan who hadn’t migrated with the flock and appeared not to be able to fly. Careful planning and preparation and switching quickly from plan a to plan b we successfully caught the beauty and will be off to the vet first thing Monday.

Yesterday marks the passing of one of the greatest influences in my life. It is hard to put into words the profound change she facilitated not only my career but in my personal life as well.
In 2010 I was at a crossroads in my career, I knew the zoo was killing me but I couldn’t imagine any other career. It was at that time I went to my first training conference where Karen Pryor was the keynote speaker. At the time I was a balanced trainer and thought certain tv trainers were where it was at with dog training. In her talk someone asked her the “Cesar” question, and for the first time I heard someone praise him for what he did do for the industry instead of slamming him.
It was that moment I made the choice to join the . She is the reason I am the trainer I am today, no words can express the profound change she facilitated in my life
