Why Positive Reinforcement?

Our understanding of how dogs think and learn is constantly evolving. Heavy-handed approaches used decades ago are  considered obsolete by the modern behavioral community.

About Us

Carly Walker is a professional dog trainer & behaviorist holding CPDT certification, AKC Evaluator certification, and the founder of The Polite Pooch. She is a CATCH Canine Trainers Academy alum.

 

Previously, Carly was the Adoptions Coordinator for A Good Dog Rescue where she worked with hundreds of rescue dogs that passed through the facility. She has a wealth of knowledge on dog behavior and focuses on working through the behavioral issues that often cause rescue dogs to be returned, such as leash reactivity, separation anxiety, fear aggression, etc.

 

Carly has volunteered for multiple rescues, including the Connecticut Humane Society, Westchester Canine Center, and two dog rescues in Lombok, Indonesia, where she lived for two years.

 

Carly loves all dogs, but seniors are her favorite. She adopted 12-year-old Angelina Ballerina from A Good Dog Rescue.
