About
I come from a science background having a Master's of Science and studied animal behavior extensively throughout undergrad and grad school. I believe in science supported training methods. I am also a trainer of trainers since I am faculty at the Animal Behavior Institute teaching future (and current) trainers in courses such as Canine Behavior, Canine Training, Training Your Therapy Dog, Animal Behavior and I am in the process of re-writing their Animal Training course. It is very rewarding to help owners understand what their dog is trying to tell them and how they can effectively communicate with their dogs creating an everlasting bond. I have literally saved dogs' lives. Many owners were ready to surrender them to shelters or may have had to euthanize them due to aggression issues. It's also wonderful to see an owner and their dog actually be able to take walks together stress-free since it was once such a horrible experience.

Cherie is amazing! She has many ideas/suggestions in using the correct techniques for my dog. Not every dog is the same & requires varies techniques. My GSD & I look forward in continuing training w/ her! We are happy to have found her.

Cherie was awesome with our Labradoodle! Finding our Canine Professor through Thumbtack couldn't have been quicker or provided more of a better fit for our pet-sitting needs. Cherie came to our home twice a day to walk, feed and love our per. She left us detailed note of their activities together and even texted us how things were going since this was their first experience together, which meant a lot to us. We recommend Cherie and Thumbtack highly. All the questions asked to determine our needs were helpful in our selection of Cherie. The ability to read comments from Cherie helped us know we were in good hands. Thanks so much!

I hired Cherie to feed several outside "stray" cats while I was on vacation during the Thanksgiving holidays. Despite torrential rains and cold weather, Cherie came every day, feed all the cats and made sure they were all okay and kept me updated. Cherie's professionalism allowed me the peace of mind to enjoy my vacation. I would definitely recommend her. Rosemary

Julie, Cherie's mom watched out cats, and we are very pleased with her service. Will absolutely use her again and recommend to others.

FAQs

  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

    I think this is critical in this field. A dog trainer that claims they know everything about dogs is greatly mistaken. The canine science research field has just finally exploded and we are learning new things about dogs on a continuing basis. There are also always new techniques, products, and insights into how best to treat common (or even uncommon) behavior problems. It is necessary that I continue my education to keep my certification. I must earn 36 continuing education credits every 3 years to renew my certification.
