Jenna Sabo MS, CPDT-KA
​I have been training animals since 2010, starting with horses and later expanding to other animals using various disciplines. I recognized early on that there had to be a more effective way to communicate with animals without relying on pressure-release techniques. I earned a B.S. in Animal Sciences with a focus on Companion Animal and Equine Studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. During college, I was guided by my mentor, Trish McMillan who taught me about the importance of positive reinforcement in the dog training world. I credit her for helping me see training not only as a viable career path, but also stoking a lifelong passion in building connections between animals and their owners.
​
In 2021, I earned my CPDT-KA certification. In order to maintain this credential, I have been continuing to pursue my education credits annually. This also allows me to stay current on the newest methods and studies in the field. I routinely attend the Aggression in Dogs Conference, Clicker Training Expo, Canine Connection and several other mentorships and webinars offered from various trainers (including Grisha Stewart, Michael Shikashio, Kathy Sdao, Leslie McDevitt and Susan Garrett to name a few). I recently completed a Master’s degree in Veterinary Medical Sciences with a concentration in Shelter Medicine from the University of Florida and aim to become an applied animal behaviorist. I specialize in working with complex behaviors like reactivity, fear aggression, and resource guarding.
