Jodie's childhood was full of wonderful and well-loved pets, sealing her fate as an animal lover for life. But it wasn’t until she met a sweet rescue dog named Nova, that she discovered her passion for training. Eventually she left the corporate world and enrolled in the training program at the Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Training & Behavior. It was during this training and through her experience caring for her beloved Nova that Jodie discovered her deep passion for helping people strengthen their emotional bond with their pets.

Jodie has volunteered with various animal shelters for decades now and is driven to provide pet owners with high quality resources and information on the best evidence-based training for their pets. She is honored and proud to have met and helped so many amazing animals and families in her work thus far and she is looking forward to expanding her reach and impact.
