Hi! I’m Sarah. I basically entered the world completely obsessed with animals, especially dogs. I was a weird kid who practiced acting like a dog when people weren’t looking. Everything about their behavior was of paramount interest to me and I spent as much time with them as I could, fascinated by their life choices, good or bad. I walked all the dogs in my neighborhood, volunteered at the veterinarian’s office, and eventually, at 17, found a dog trainer where I apprenticed. As they say, the rest is history. I began to compete in AKC obedience alongside training pets, eventually training in multiple sports at national and international levels.

 

​

My pet training business exploded in Orange County, California, booking 3-5 month in advance.

OC Dog Ranch was the place to send your dog if you wanted your dog living on a ranch while getting world class training.

 

During that time, I worked with pet owners closely, and I began to realize the benefit of video learning. I made videos to help prime their brain and prepare them for their lesson. Pretty soon, my lessons were reduced by over half due to the prior video learning they'd acquired. It was a time saver for me and a frustration saver for them, who were now able to learn while snacking, relaxing, in bed or whenever suited them. Thus was my introduction to video learning!

 

That was nearly ten years ago and I now run a very successful online dog trainer’s school, Canemo Dog. But I couldn't stay away from regular pet dog owners for long, enter Pup Sees World, my vision of what pet ownership should look like. A partner to be by your side, experiencing everything the world has to offer, together.

Hope to see you training!

Hey, I’m Heather and I graduated from the University of Maryland with a degree in Environmental Science and Policy with a significant portion of study on wildlife, society and our behaviors together. I love constantly educating myself and I graduated from Trish King's Academy of Dog Behavior.

Many of the training techniques I use take advantage of Neuroscientific concepts and neuroplasticity (the ability for the brain to rewire itself).

By using modern cognitive science, training both behavior issues and obedience can be more effective. 

In 2005 I began fostering dogs and in 2010 I founded an animal rescue. Through fostering dozens of dogs and coordinating finding homes for hundreds of others, I’ve seen and trained first hand a wide range of behavioral problems. Almost all dogs have needed the basic obedience skills to help them find their forever homes, but they also needed to learn to overcome any fears, reactive behaviors and self control issues to ensure the adoption would stick! I prioritize the dog's body language, and reading and keeping them comfortable at all times. I specializes in working with dogs that are dog reactive/aggressive and I’m excited to meet you and help you work through your dog’s issues.

Hello I'm Esther Parker and I've been training pet dogs out of Los Angeles, California since 2002. I am in love with helping owners find peace and harmony with their pets and am not satisfied until we get it accomplished.

I compete in dog training competitions, something that gets me excited and helps push my skill as a dog trainer.

Meeting with you remotely, we can work the Pup Sees World courses together, giving you the extra one on one you may need to progress even faster.

​

Send me an email and I'll get you on the schedule ASAP!
