Choosing the right trainer
The iPaw Team
Dee’s passion for dogs led her to professional certification in dog training at Animal Behaviour College (ABC) in 2005. Through the ABC Internship Program, she met Georgina Bradley, founder of DogStars, who has been a tremendous influence on her career. Nori’s background includes specialization in teaching to adult learning principles, corporate training and promoting second language acquisition. Continuously updating knowledge by attending conferences, networking with other pet professionals and by reading copiously is how iPaw supports your progress.
