Welcome Carrie Doiron!

Certified Professional Positive Reinforcement Dog Trainer.

I graduated from the Internationally recognized Karen Pryor Academy and have received the Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner through their organization. Among that, I have also graduated from the Dog Behaviour Training Methodology through the Edmonton Humane Society, The Dogs in Aggression
Mastercourse with Micheal Shikashio, and pride myself with continually educating myself through courses and seminars of science based modern approaches to dog training.

I base my training on always setting your pup up for success, and in turn build confidence, as well as a trusting relationship through dog and owner.

I have now been training for four years and I am so excited to join the Second Pup Family and hope to bring value to all of their clients!
