She is passionate about giving dogs a “choice and a voice” in their daily lives so they don’t feel the stress of being forced to do things they are uncomfortable doing without an alternative. As a Fear Free® Shelters Graduate she is passionate about volunteering with colleagues at local animal shelters giving confined pets an outlet to release pent up energy and emotions so they can be better prepared to find their forever home.
Many of Linda’s varied credentials can be verified on third party websites and many links are included here and on her website. She trains pet dogs and their guardians with no force methods so you can carry on the communication with your dog long after class is over.
