Welcome to WhyDoesDog.com, I’m Betsy, the heart and soul behind this platform. As a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist (CAAB) and CPDT-KA Certified professional through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, I bring over eight years of experience working with animals, particularly our beloved canine companions.
My journey with animals began long before I embarked on formal education. Growing up, I was always surrounded by dogs, and my fascination with their behavior only deepened with time. This passion led me to pursue a formal education in animal behavior and dog training, culminating in my graduation from the esteemed CATCH Canine Academy for Dog Trainers. This rigorous program equipped me with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge needed to understand and influence dog behavior effectively.
In addition to my foundational training, I am also Animal Reiki II Certified. This certification allows me to offer a unique, holistic approach to dog training and behavior modification. I believe that understanding a dog’s energy and emotional state is just as crucial as understanding their physical behavior. Reiki has been a transformative tool in helping dogs overcome anxiety, stress, and behavioral challenges, offering them a sense of calm and balance.
At WhyDoesDog.com, my mission is to help dog owners better understand their pets’ behaviors. The question “Why does my dog do that?” is one I hear often, and it’s the driving force behind this website. I believe that with the right knowledge, every dog owner can develop a deeper connection with their pet, fostering a relationship built on trust, understanding, and mutual respect.
Whether you’re dealing with a specific behavioral issue or simply curious about why your dog behaves a certain way, WhyDoesDog.com is here to provide you with the insights you need. I offer a variety of resources, including articles, tips, and personalized consultations, all aimed at helping you decode your dog’s behavior.
My approach to dog training and behavior modification is rooted in positive reinforcement and scientific principles. I believe that every dog is unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution. My goal is to work with you and your dog to find the methods that work best for both of you, ensuring a happy, healthy, and harmonious relationship.
Thank you for visiting WhyDoesDog.com. I’m excited to share my knowledge and experience with you, and I look forward to helping you and your dog live your best lives together. If you have any questions or need personalized advice, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Together, we can unlock the secrets behind your dog’s behavior and create a fulfilling, rewarding experience for both of you.
