From Animal Lover to Expert Dog Trainer
Rebecca’s love for animals started early when she convinced her parents to keep a classroom chick—and quickly grew into a lifelong passion that led her to a career in the veterinary field. After adopting a reactive parvovirus survivor, Rebecca immersed herself in behavior modification, discovering the power of positive reinforcement training. This personal journey inspired her to become a certified training partner through the Karen Pryor Academy.
