Dawn Sims, Certified Professional Dog Trainer
Dawn Sims is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer living in Rudy, Arkansas. She is a graduate of Animal Behavior College, a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and Pet Professional Guild, and a member of the International Association of Dog Behavior Consultants (IAABC). She has consulted with several rescue organizations, has taught workshops to veterinary students, and is a former service dog trainer.
“I have been training dogs since 1997, promoting modern, science based dog training methods. I have worked extensively with dogs with behavior issues, including those suffering from anxiety, aggression, and other disorders. I have dedicated my free time to rehabilitating shelter dogs for a number of rescues.
I’m a science geek, so if you don’t want to hear the nitty-gritty about why we do what we do you will probably have to tell me to shut up. I will talk your ear off about the science of dog behavior when given the chance. I want you to know and understand your dog. I think that creates empathy.”
