About
Hi, I’m Lindsay. I’ve spent the past 15 years working with rescue animals. My experience has been shaped by the thousands of dogs who’ve come through WAG's (Whistler's Animal Shelter) doors looking for help. From fear and reactivity to resource guarding, feral animals, and stranger danger - I’ve worked with it all.
I’m also a graduate of The Academy for Dog Trainers , one of the most respected programs in dog behaviour and training.
My approach is rooted in compassion, modern behavioural science, and a deep commitment to helping animals and the people who love them.
​
Dog Mom to Davey and Tobey and so many other special souls who have shaped my life.
