Oberhund Dog Services & Products, Jennifer Berg, CPDT-KA, CDBC, (Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Certified Dog Behavior Consultant). What is the best dog training to help stop barking, chewing, or pulling on the leash? Over reactivity? Fear? Does your dog have separation anxiety?

Over 20 years specializing in over-reactivity, fear, and anxiety-based behaviours

Contact Jennifer Berg, CPDT-KA, CDBC (Certified Dog Behavior Consultant and Certified Professional Dog Trainer) for dog-centred dog training and behaviour modification services that focus on:

  • promoting dogs’ emotional, mental, and physical wellbeing,
  • avoiding the use of aversive tools/techniques, and
  • improving/preserving the relationship between the dog and the guardian

Jennifer’s dog training and behaviour modification expertise and instruction is humane, focused on positive reinforcement and current science, and begins with identifying the underlying causes of behaviours (including the dog’s emotional state) and addressing the behaviours through reward-based behaviour change procedures.

Jennifer has earned two highly reputable, internationally-recognized certifications:

logo Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers

Jennifer has over 20 years of experience teaching private and group dog training classes and she strongly believes in the importance of ethics and continuing education, especially because the dog training industry is unregulated.

An important part of Jennifer’s work is about educating dog owners to help them make informed choices in an industry where there are deceptive marketing practices such as vanity awards, fake conferences, and first party certifications.
