ALI EVANSON
Ali is a graduate of The Karen Pryor Academy, earning her title as a Karen Pryor Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP). She is a certified dog behavior consultant (CDBC) and a certified Family Dog Mediator (FDM). Ali continues her education and professional growth by attending several seminars and taking courses each year. Her training passions include trick training, reactivity, and cooperative care skills. When not caring for clients, Ali enjoys time with her own companions - especially being in the water with her pups! She grew up riding horses and working with the family dogs when her parents would let her. She also had cats, rabbits, bearded dragons, mice, hamsters, and a ferret growing up - whatever her parents told her she couldn’t bring in the house, she did! Now her menagerie is a bit smaller with four dogs and a feral toddler. Ali has a Pittie (Hunk), a Malinois (Nightmare), her long-term deaf foster Pittie (Jelly Bean), and various other foster dogs. All of which have been and continue to be an integral part of Ali’s ability to help others on their learning journey. Ali also finds time to volunteer with different organizations. She is on the interaction team, aids in training, and fosters for Chi-Town Pitties. Most recently she began the role of conference coordinator for The IAABC Foundation. |
