Laura Waddell . CDT, CDTI
Laura Waddell has been working with dogs for nearly 30 years, starting with the Philadelphia ACC and working her way up through the dog world. Titling her dogs in obedience and working dog sports such as Schutzhund helped her define her balanced approach to dog training.
As an ethologist, she specializes in behavior modification and continues to further her education in the field by attending workshops and seminars with such noted professionals as Dr. Jean Dodds, Dr. Karen Overall, Suzanne Clothier, Lou Castle and many others. She has been seen on Animal Planet's show "From Underdog To Wonder Dog" as well as "Broadway Barks" .
Some of her clients include Metropolitan Maltese Rescue in NYC (on call behaviorist), Hounds On The Hudson (kennel management and safety), as well as being a consultant and expert witness for animal legal cases.
Laura is a professional member and certified trainer through the International Association of Canine Professionals, the IASE and is an Evaluator for the American Kennel Club's Canine Good Citizen program.
She is currently owned by her Belgian Malinois Anika and the newest addition to the Canis family, Aussie puppy Orion.
