Leeron Liftik
I have had the fortunate experience to apprentice under and work with some of the country’s most reputable dog trainers including Jason Lake and Forrest Mickey. I then went on to apprentice for a dog behaviorist with over 20 years experience and currently am mentored by a veterinary behaviorist while in my graduate program pursuing a Master’s degree. I have multiple nationally recognized credentials in both dog training (CCPDT-KA, PDT) and dog behavior (CBCC, AD-gEek) and am the only Certified Concept Trainer, Certified Fear Free Behavior Consultant and Certified Behavior Consultant in Canine in Nevada County. The area I am called on most frequently to support is helping medium and high-drive working personalities to integrate into pet-level homes. My focus is on creating change in emotionally driven behaviors. I focus on satisfying the animal’s underlying needs so any of their current undesirable coping mechanisms naturally and permanently become obsolete. I maintain specialty in fear-based forward behaviors, separation anxiety and separation related behaviors and gestational development for puppies. I work with dogs from all sorts of background but far and away have the most experience with shelter and rescue animals and they represent my preferred population.
