About Linda Brodzik
Hi! My name is Linda Brodzik, and I have been a professional trainer of dogs and their people for over 35 years. I am passionate about dog behavior, how dogs learn, and how to best teach them. I am equally passionate about helping my clients understand their dog’s behavior and how to communicate more effectively to solve problems in a way that builds trust and cooperative relationships.
Your dog’s education can only be as good as the education of the person, the trainer, you choose to guide you. My education in Dog Behavior, how they learn, and how best to teach them started when I was still in High School. Fascinated by all things dogs and behavior-related I sought every opportunity to learn and grow my knowledge. I attended classes through the LifeLearn Program at the Ontario Veterinary College, University at Guelph, Ontario, Canada. I have had the great fortune to have studied with many of the world’s top Dog and Animal Trainers, Animal Behaviorists, Veterinarians, and Veterinary Behaviorists in the US, Canada, and the United Kingdom. I continue to attend classes, clinics, webinars, and workshops regularly to ensure that I stay attentive to the most current knowledge in the science of behavior and training, and can offer you the very best support in training your companion dog. For most of my 35-plus year career, my practice was located in veterinary facilities, working closely with veterinarians and their staff to resolve some of the most difficult behavior issues people have with their companion dogs. This not only brought me a greater understanding of behavior concerns, and how to best work to resolve them but also a greater understanding of the tremendous bond we have with our dogs and how much we will do to help them have the best life possible.
