Cindy Peacock - Animal Trainer My training is based on a simple concept: reward the behaviours you want... In 2004 she joined the Calgary Zoo, and spent six years as a keeper/trainer.

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.

We’re so excited to have Marlene Lebarge taking the stage at the Behaviour Eh? Conference with her talk:

“Unlock the Missing Piece in Behaviour Change!” 🔑

Marlene will share strategies to help professionals bridge the gap between great plans and real client follow-through.

Can’t wait for Behaviour Eh? Nov 1–2! 🙌
Super pumped to hear Andre Yeu speak — his sessions “Positive Didn’t Work... Yet” and “From Wingin’ It to Winning It” hit both sides of the behaviour world: better outcomes for dogs and better strategy for trainers.
If you’ve ever struggled with “positive didn’t work” or just want to take your business to the next level, you’ll want to grab a seat for these ones!
