Today I'm joined by multi-certified trainer Sylvia Wes!



My name is Sylvia Wes, I have been a certified dog trainer for 7 years. I am currently working as an early developmental and reactivity/ aggression specialist.  While I am a certified professional dog trainer, the majority of my cases revolve around behavior consulting and modification.

​

I have been working with dogs in a professional capacity for over a decade.  I got my start in the rescue sector, running a huge no kill center in DTLA with over 200 animals in our care.  I forayed into pet care as a special needs and geriatric care specialist before diving into the world of dog training.

​

I am passionate about science based, positive reinforcement training.  I currently hold two certification and am seeking a new certification in behavior consulting. I believe in the power of individual learning, radical consideration and choice based learning models to help propel your relationship with your dog to next level.

​

Let me help guide you into a new world of better communication, meeting your dog's needs and human animal bonding to last your dog's lifetime.  Anything is possible with though the power of love, patience and science.
