Rebecca's lifelong affinity for animals began during her early years, surrounded by a diverse array of pets encompassing dogs, cats, chickens, guinea pigs, rats, and reptiles. Equipped with a degree in Biology from the University of California - Santa Cruz, she embarked on her professional journey in animal training and behavior through years spent with seals, sea lions, and sea otters, Rebecca's fervor for enhancing the lives of animals in human care was firmly established.
Rebecca has since extended her expertise to the realm of primates, employing reinforcement-based, force free methodologies to teach complicated tasks and cooperative care behaviors. Her journey into dog training was catalyzed by becoming a devoted dog parent to both an adult rescue dog, Duke, and puppy, Splash, in 2010. The experience fueled her resolve to channel her professional endeavors into fostering greater understanding and cooperation between people and their canine companions.

Rebecca is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), graduate of Trish King's Canine Behavior Academy, & AKC CGC & Trick Evaluator. Her dedication to ongoing education finds her regularly participating in workshops, seminars, and conferences.
