I am a professional animal trainer with over forty years of experience. I have trained dogs, horses, dolphins, sea lions, seals, birds, Llamas, Alpacas, cattle, sheep, and cats. I was born in London U.K. I have lived and worked extensively throughout Europe, Mexico, the Bahamas, and the USA. My expertise comes from a multi-discipline education including Zoo and Animal Management (Cambridge Extension College 1989.) Wildlife Conservation, (University of East London 1992.) Certification Council of Professional Dog Trainers (2011) The Karen Pryor Academy (2018). Aggressive Dogs Master Course, 2022, ( Micheal Shikashio.) IAABC-ADT 2023. I have worked professionally training dogs for over twenty years in the USA. I have extensive experience in managing large and small animal facilities. I have built three dog training and boarding facilities in the USA, with an emphasis on solving difficult behavioral issues using fencing to create enriching environments. I am currently an active consultant with animal rescues, training staff to clicker train their cats and dogs. In 2015 I won an award with the University of North Alabama’s entrepreneurial competition The Big Idea, for my training and fencing design ©Circle Training, which was published in the dog magazine Barks from The Guild 2015. My forte is resolving complex behavioral problems and working extensively with feral dogs. Using my ©Circle Training, I can reduce labor costs and provide a safe and fear-free environment, which is critical for dogs that are poorly socialized. ©Circle Training enables faster results as the dog can choose to either come or go, yet be safely contained. In the progressive world of dog training, providing choice is a key to success and aids in achieving overall success faster with permanent results. Jane Gerard 2022.
