I’m Linda Green and for the past 14 years I’ve been helping dogs and their humans through a small rescue (Unidos para los Animales) I co-founded in 2010 in the beautiful town of La Antigua, Guatemala. More recently I moved to Calgary, Alberta with my two ex-street dogs, Cashew and Panda.
I graduated with honours from Jean Donaldson’s esteemed Academy for Dog Trainers, where I studied dog behaviour and training and learning theory. Prior to training dogs I was a teacher and my background in education and coaching has been a great asset and dovetails beautifully with teaching and supporting the human half of my client teams. My cases span basics like manners-type skills to advanced aggression cases.
I have worked with thousands of adult dogs and fostered, socialized and trained close to a thousand puppies over the years. Puppy and teen issues are one of my favourite areas, along with teaching Cooperative Care and low stress handling. I love working with dogs who are reactive on leash..
I’m committed to continuing education through conferences, webinars, certifications, and classes. I recently became a certified Separation Anxiety Pro Behaviour Consultant to help support these lovely dogs and their owners. I love working with dogs who are reactive on leash..
In my free time I love to teach tricks and take classes such as Nose Work and Barn Hunt with Panda and Cashew. I love to read, cycle, hike and spend time in our beautiful mountains with my dogs and friends.
