THE PET PEEVES PHILOSOPHY

At Pet Peeves Animal Training, Inc. we believe that "training should be enjoyed at both ends of the leash". We utilize only positive methods for training or behavior modification with your pet.

Great training starts with a great relationship.   At Pet Peeves Animal Training, we help you understand the world from your pet's perspective.  Knowing the underlying motivation for your pet's behavior is key to teaching your pet new, desirable behaviors while minimizing problem behaviors. We believe that compassionate understanding is the foundation for shaping a trouble free relationship with your pet. We believe your pet is an important member of your family and should be treated as such.

At Pet Peeves Animal Training we believe that training should be a fun and enjoyable experience for you, your family and your pet. We adamantly oppose the harsh and archaic style of controlling your pet through physical force or intimidation such as – in the case of a dog – using a choke chain, pinch collar, or yelling at them. This traditional "train by force" ideology is an unpleasant experience for everyone involved, especially your pet, and never a good choice in ethical training. The truth is, you should never have to  intimidate your pet, physically or emotionally, to train them.

At Pet Peeves Animal Training we believe that kindness counts and that using physical force or intimidation is never a good choice in training your best friend.  Our animal behaviorist educates you to be the consistent, compassionate, and responsible leader your pet can appreciate and respond to happily.

We believe that positive training is a gift you give yourself and your pet to promote a mutually rewarding lifetime relationship. We whole-heartedly promote the use of positive reinforcement techniques in training. We use toys, treats, verbal praise and gentle touch to teach training "that's enjoyed at both ends of the leash".

Pet Peeves Animal Training, Inc. is so committed to this philosophy of training that we offer a written money back guarantee of our services.

People that know Wendy can attest to her special ability to understand and communicate with animals. "It's incredible that the animals sense the connection and respond to Wendy in amazing ways" comments Dr. Stevens, one of Wendy's colleagues. As a child growing up in Kansas, Wendy would spend hours studying any animal that she could get her eyes on.  She volunteered her time to train the animals at local shelters that others had long given up on. Many of Wendy's clients refer to her as the real "Dr. Doolittle" because of her uncanny ability to understand and communicate with the animals. She has effectively worked with hundreds of dogs, cats, horses, birds, and their owners over the last 19 years.   

Wendy is committed to teaching a style of training that enhances the bond between the animal and its' human. She believes that training should be good-natured and fun for all involved. "Training should be enjoyed at both ends of the leash" is her guiding philosophy. Her Native American heritage has taught her to work in harmony with all living creatures. "You must first understand their (the animal's) nature and perspective before an effective bond of trust and mutual respect can be developed" she says.  She believes that "a positive relationship is the foundation for all successful training and behavior modification -we must go there first before we can go anywhere else."

She is the founder and owner of Pet Peeves Animal Training, Inc. a company based in Clearwater, Florida. A company that is committed to educating owners to utilize positive behavioral principles in training, understanding and enjoying their animal companions.  Wendy provides local and national services as an applied animal behaviorist.
