Woof’s owner and Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT) is Erin Vejar (formerly McCormick). Erin decided to become a dog trainer after learning a very important lesson while spending time volunteering with rescue dogs: Dogs who are well behaved are more likely to be adopted. Likewise, well-behaved dogs are also much more likely to keep their homes and lead happy lives. While earning her degree in Communication at University of California, San Diego, she gained her certification in pet dog training from Animal Behavior College in 2006. She gained her professional experience by volunteering with local animal shelters and rescues and apprenticing with a seasoned animal behaviorist before teaching classes at a chain pet store.  She has passed the Knowledge Assessment given by the Certification Counsel for Professional Dog Trainers, proving her thorough understanding of all facets of the dog training profession, including canine ethology, the science of learning theory, animal husbandry, classroom management and technique, and more.  This title also requires a commitment to humane training based on scientific research.  She takes pride in keeping her knowledge in the field up to date by attending continuing education seminars and workshops taught by the industry’s best dog trainers, and this continuing education is monitored through her CPDT title.
