My name is Grace Allard, I am a certified and insured Canine Behavior & Training Specialist (CCBTS). As a kid I would do short "training sessions" with my dogs teaching them to go through hoops, sit, jump on random things, go through my legs, anything that seemed fun. I would always insist on bringing them to sporting events or out with my friends as we lived in the country. As I got older I was drawn to all animals, and improving their lives. I was incredibly happy finding ABI and ABC colleges as well as IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals) as they helped me realize my dream... dog training. Being able to be a part of a community that focuses on understanding a dog in depth, not only try to fix their problem behavior but understand where the root of the issue lies, and how to create a language to affect change is why I do what I do. Since I have become certified and continue my professional and educational journey I have gained lots of experience around puppies and their developmental needs being able to specialize some private and group services around that age bracket.
