Thank you for your
interest in Training With Grace. Here's a little about Ana,
your trainer.
Ana Melara has been
working with dogs and their families for over a decade, originally
in NYC and for more than 7 years here in Colorado. She is a
Certified Pet Dog
Trainer and member of the Association
of Pet Dog Trainers. She is a Canine
Good Citizen evaluator. She keeps herself current by
attending various workshops, seminars and conferences. Her
training techniques are founded on praise-based, dog-friendly
methods, and a fundamental belief that, as their guardians, we are
responsible for their well-being and training and we are
obligated to 'be good leaders to our dogs.' Whether she is
teaching basic obedience, agility, puppy socialization, potty
training, or addressing a dog's aggression issues, Ana stresses to
all of her human clients the profound importance that their
leadership plays in their dog's training. Ana also donates her
time and services to various rescue organizations in the area
including Colorado Saint Bernard rescue and Colorado Greyhound
Adoption.
Ana lives in the
Denver Metro Area with her husband, Travis the Paramedic/Fire
fighter, Army reservist, Rebeca her 3 and 1/2 -year-old bright
eyed dog trainer/ballerina/princess, Gracie her 10 year-old
agility champion whippett/pitbull mix, Argos her 7 year-old blood
donor German
shepherd mix, and Meg her 5 year-old black lab agility
superstar. All of her dogs are Delta Society Pet
Partners.
