Exciting news alert!
I’ve been approached by the amazing team at the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training & Behavior and asked to apply to be a mentor for their students in the UAE. My application was accepted much to my excitement. Victoria Stilwell has been a hero of mine for years, She’s one of the world’s most recognized and respected dog trainers. Victoria is best known for her role as the star of Animal Planet’s hit TV series It’s Me or the Dog, through which she is able to share her insight and passion for positive reinforcement dog training and as a judge on CBS’s Greatest American Dog.
Victoria’s training methods are all about positivity, promoting mutual trust and respect. She also has modern behavioral science as a foundation for her work.
“Based on modern behavioral science, positive training is a reboot to the traditional way of approaching not only dog training, but also the overall principles used in our everyday interactions with our dogs. By embracing the power of positive training and avoiding the pitfalls of dominance and punishment-based training, we’re making a commitment to our canine companions to provide gentle, effective leadership and to better understand them while giving them the tools they need to thrive and succeed in our strange, domestic world.”
Such an honour and a privilege for me personally. And for you: if you are considering a career as a dog trainer do look at the academy.
