 Values & standards

I started Sit Pretty so that I could help dogs and their owners communicate better with one another. My goal with each and every dog I work with is to teach them what is expected of them in any given situation through co-operative, compassionate, force-free methods. Virtual training has only allowed more dog owners to access my services, making the sky the limit!
I continue to further my education, certifications and understanding of dog behavior, and am committed to following the BC SPCA AnimalKind Standards.
