Meet the coach
Alex Pederson is a Certified Behavior Consultant & Dog Trainer through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT). Her career in dog training began when she managed a dog training facility, overseeing a team of dog trainers and up to 36 dogs at a time. This experience allowed her to work with hundreds of dogs over the course of her time there, learning about different breeds and behaviors, and fine tuning her skills. Alex is passionate about helping people understand and support their complex dogs, specializing in separation anxiety, reactivity, and aggression. ​

​Alex has a Bachelor of Arts from University of Oregon, a certificate in dog aggression from Michael Shikashio's renowned Aggression In Dogs Master Course, and a certificate in separation anxiety from Moira Hechenleitner DVM's comprehensive separation anxiety course.
