Efficient and Effective Problem Solving using Force Free and Evidence Based Training Methods.
Your Coach
In 2009, Ashton followed her love of animals to pursue a career at the humane society. Throughout the years, her journey through the animal industry lead her to experience in veterinary care, grooming, dog daycare, and finally training. While completing her education at the University of Alberta for Animal and Companion Animal Science, Ashton began shadowing local puppy classes and it wasn't long before she was working full time in her dream career.
Now, Ashton is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, a Certified Trick Dog Instructor, a Family Paws and Parent Educator and a Certified UpDog Judge.
Ashton follows science based, force free and positive training methods and advocates to end the use of fear, pain and intimidation in the name of training. Ashton currently sits on the board of the Alberta Force Free Alliance, holding the title as President.
Ashton's dog, Burt, competes in flyball, agility, disc and also enjoys swimming and snoozing!
