Support your dog trainer by sharing your story

I am dedicated to helping pet dog owners solve their behavior problems and love their well-trained dogs through my unique combination of experience, education, knowledge, and skills. I pursued a Master's degree in Human and Animal Cognition (Psychology) and then founded Stacy's Wag'N'Train in 1998. I have been continuing my education, refining my knowledge and my skills, since then, through mentorship programs, volunteering at the Humane Society, and working with my own dogs as well as with clients'. I teach Dogbiz' Dog Walking Academy, and I am currently working on Office Buddies, a book about having dogs in the workplace.

Certifications:

MA CPDT-KA CBCC-KA CAP2

More info about Stacy Braslau-Schneck's dog training:

I help pet dogs and their owners! I specialize in reactivity training and helping shy or fearful dogs, as well as puppy training!

Behavioral issue focus:

I help dogs who bark or lunge at strangers, other dogs, guests and family members; those who are fearful; and those who are wild and impulsive!

Dog training methods:

I am a former dolphin trainer dedicated to using humane, positive training methods that take the dog's emotional needs into account - and the owner's as well! My training programs start with a consultation to find out the owner's goals and the dog's issues, and then we build some solid foundation of attention and focus. On this foundation we can build new skills for the dog to use in response to old triggers.

Why I became a dog trainer:

I was asked to teach classes at the SF/SPCA when I was volunteering at the city shelter, and fell in love with helping pet owners find their dogs' greatest potential!

My favorite part of being a dog trainer:

My favorite is watching unruly and fearful puppies and dogs learn to navigate their worlds calmly and confidently, allowing their owners to enjoy their company even more!

My #1 dog training tip:

Evaluate your timing, your rate of reinforcement, and your criteria. Make sure you are rewarding the moment/action you mean to; that you are rewarding those actions more than the environment is rewarding the old default actions; and that you are setting your expectations small enough to achieve success yet high enough to create progress!
