Wags and Wisdom

Introduction: All training is one-on-one and utilizes the guidelines set forth by the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior, the Humane Society of the United States and the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. Kyrana uses techniques such as initial Behavioral Analysis, Target, Shape, Capture, Lure and Reward, Mark or Clicker Training as well as Desensitization and Counter-Conditioning. Years ago, when I was a child, I stood at the edge of the pasture and looked out to the horses. I asked my grandfather how were we going to get the horses when they were roaming free and not in a stall. He looked at me and said, "Always be their favorite place to be and you will never have to worry about that." I carry that advice with me even today and have applied it to the 200+ species of animals I have worked with since then. I grew up on horse ranches, have worked full contact with wild animals, and been the lead technician at a veterinary hospital before opening my own business in the spring of 2014. What I love most is watching my clients develop a better understanding of their pet and how that relationship shifts in response; see them learn how to be their pet's favorite place to be.
