Introducing
Karen Anderson
|
My name is
Karen Anderson and I am a graduate of Animal Behavior College where I earned my certification as an ABC Certified Dog Trainer. Animal Behavior College (ABC) is approved by the Bureau for Private Postsecondary and Vocational Education and is an internationally recognized school. My year long commitment to this program has provided me with a formal education in canine obedience training and understanding behavior and its motives. My certification, education and experience provide me the skills required to effectively and humanely train your dog while keeping alive the spark that makes your dog so special to you.

Did You Know?
Research shows that 1.8 million dogs are surrendered to shelters every year by their owners. A high percentage of these surrenders can be linked to untreated behavior problems. According to the ASPCA: Approximately 8 to 12 million companion animals enter animal shelters nationwide annually. Every year, approximately 5 to 9 million of these animals are euthanized with 60% of them being dogs. Shelter intakes are essentially evenly divided between those relinquished by owners and those picked up by animal control. About 65% of pet owners acquire their pets for free or at a low cost. 10 to 20% of cats and dogs are adopted from shelters and rescues. Over 20% of people who relinquish their dogs to shelters adopted their dogs from a shelter.

A sad but true story:
I Adopted Your Dog Today I adopted your dog today. The one you left at the pound. The one you had for five years ... See MoreAnd no longer wanted around. I adopted your dog today. Do you know he's lost weight? Do you know he's scared and depressed And has lost all faith? I adopted your dog today. He had fleas and a cold, But don't worry none. You've unburdened your load. I adopted your dog today. Were you having a baby or moving away? Did you suddenly develop allergies Or was there no reason he couldn't stay? I adopted your dog today. He doesn't play or eat much. He's very depressed, But he will learn again to trust. I adopted your dog today And here he will stay. He's found his forever home And a warm lap to lay. I adopted your dog today And I will give him all that he could need. Patience, love, security, and understanding. Hopefully he will forget your selfish deed. December 4 at 1:20pm
