About Polite Happy Dog Academy
Positive Reinforcement Training
At PHD Academy, we provide positive reinforcement training and follow the LIMA (Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive) approach. We never use force, fear, or physical punishment to get a dog to perform a behavior. Our dogs want to please us, and when we make good behavior rewarding for them, they will happily and willingly comply.
My Bio
I have been training dogs and horses since I was about 17 years old, and I currently volnteer with Sunshine Big Dog Rescue in Plant City. I started my own business in 2023.
With an academic background in Psychology and Education/Training, I understand how both dogs and people learn best. My goal is to teach people to teach their dogs to behave politely and enhance the relationship between pets and people.
My credentials include completion of training and a hands-on externship through Animal Behavior College (ABCDT and Pet CPR/First-Aid Certifications). I am a proud member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers and The Pet Professional Guild, and I continue taking seminars (CEUs) on training methods, animal learning and behavior.
