About Cassie

I have been taking care of pets (mainly dogs, but the occasional cat as well) since I was old enough to be responsible to do so. I realized about a year ago that I wanted to merge my 2 main interests - psychology and animals - and become a dog trainer. I have completed the Karen Pryor Academy Professional Dog Trainer course and am always volunteering with local shelters to gain more experience. I walk dogs in my area during the day, but hope to start working more on animals behavioral needs. Between my own dogs, the dogs I walk, and the dogs at the shelter, I've seen it all and bring a humility and compassion to each situation. I use positive reinforcement - the most up to date method backed by behavioral science - to train.
