Corinne Collier, CPDT-KA
Corinne derives great joy from working with families to help communicate with their pets. By learning to speak our pets’ language, we find that we improve both human and dogs’ lives alike.
Every family has a unique dynamic and desired expectations for their pets. A “well-trained dog” looks different for each family. Corinne believes in respecting our animals through the lives that we bring them into. Her approach to dog training focuses on the question “What do you WANT to see?” to create plans that work for the lives of the whole family.
Corinne’s passions are both learning and teaching. She earned her Bachelors of Fine Arts in Music Education from the University of Illinois (2013) and taught in local public school. As a teacher of both humans and dogs, Corinne loves the craft of bridging the language gap between both species.
Most of all, though, Corinne loves dogs. They are beautiful, brilliant creatures who enhance our lives and bring us joy. She is excited to work with your family and unlock clues to what your pup is telling you—which will help you both live together in a way that caters to both of your needs.
Corinne is a certified professional dog trainer-knowledge assessed (CPDT-KA) through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. She has two boys (ages 4 & 2) who help her constantly reflect on how behavior serves as a tool for communication.
