Inna is my name, and I'm a certified pet dog trainer (CPDT). Looking back, I can't remember a time when I didn't want to work with animals. I started my career as a volunteer at rescue groups in NYC and Long Island. I fostered many cats and dogs and found them permanent homes. I also became involved in animal awareness campaigns and helped with adoption events. My beginning in the animal world came as a veterinary technologist. After several years of working in veterinary clinics, I began to show interest in animal training and behavior. I found a job in The ASPCA's behavior department. I worked for many years in The ASPCA's behavior department, where I learned about cat and dog behavior and how to train dogs to deal with various behavioral issues. Working with animals in shelters was a good experience because it enabled me to become a professional dog trainer and behavior counselor devoted to assisting cats and dogs in becoming better pets. I am a Certified Behavior Consultant and trainer that practices result-oriented training. I aim to teach pet owners how to establish good communication with their dogs through ethical teaching methods and sustain their dogs and cats in their forever homes by establishing a lifetime bond between them and their caregivers. Whether you are a first-time pet owner or just want to work with your dog's basic dog training, this class will give you some of the basics. Patients gather.
