I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.

Certified Family Dog Mediator
Hello! My name is Van, and I am a Certified Family Dog Mediator (C.F.D.M.) with a passion for animal health, wellbeing, and communication. I am dedicated to helping families create a calm and patient approach to training their dogs. I thrive on building strong bonds between dogs and their human family members, focusing on trust, respect, and mutual understanding. I am constantly seeking opportunities to help families create a calm and positive environment to reduce stress and promote emotional well-being.
I dedicate my time to researching new approaches to canine behavior and health and I am constantly on the lookout for new information to better my personal approach to animal well being. Through my experiences in zoo animal husbandry and veterinary care, I have developed a strong foundation in animal cooperative health and behavior. I believe that through patience and mutual respect in animal training we can create a better environment for our pets.
