About Me

Miriam Lee, CPDT-KA, Fear Free Certified Animal Trainer

Dogs have always been a significant part of my life, as my previous dog was a rescue Jindo named Jenna, who taught me resilience and adaptability. I learned how to grieve the dog I had hoped for, how to advocate for her special needs and how important consent is in dog-to-human interactions.

I have been in the industry for over 12 years and I am committed to building trusting relationships with dogs and their owners. In 2024, I designed this adventure program based on my love of being physically active in the woods and deep understanding of canine behavior.

As a certified professional dog trainer with a specialization in reactivity, I know how to:

● Confidently manage group settings
● Interpret body language (calming signals, posturing)
● Reinforce polite trail manners
● Use motivation to recall dogs
● Properly utilize longlines/draglines
● Provide structured socialization
● Interrupt play that can border on overarousal
● Help unconfident dogs to think for themselves, while building confidence out in the world
