MY TRAINING METHOD
-
Be Attentive
It all starts by focusing on the needs of the dog and also on the expectations of their person.
Connection before content.
-
Be Positive
A dog’s sense of trust and motivation will come from consistent positive reinforcement.
Rewarding results.
-
Be Realistic
Every dog is unique. Some learn quickly, while others take time and patience. And that’s ok.
Guided goal-setting.
-
Effective training is a partnership between you and your dog based on trust, love, and understanding.
About Me
Hi, I’m Cuylie! Like many dog lovers, I’ve had four-legged friends by my side my whole life. My childhood love for animals continued to develop into a passion and has become the main drive behind my intellectual and professional pursuits ever since.
I spent the past five years working in a variety of roles across the pet industry, working closely with dogs from varied backgrounds and gaining as much experience and knowledge as possible in areas such as animal care & nutrition, walking techniques, obedience training, and my personal favorite, animal behaviorism. I was then accepted into The Academy for Dog Trainers where I continue my studies in evidence-based dog training and behavioral analysis. Today, my work with dogs remains my greatest joy as I spend my days as a dog handler and train privately.
I approach every client with a personalized training strategy. Just like humans, every dog is different! Keeping their specific age, breed, history, and personality in mind, I take care to build a training plan the dog will understand and retain. After all, training should be an enjoyable, educational experience for all parties involved!
