ABOUT ME
Welcome to Pawsitivity Unleashed!
Hi, I’m Bri! My journey into training started with a dog named Elsa—a sweet, reactive rescue who had been overlooked for years. She was labeled "unadoptable," but with time, patience, and fear-free, positive reinforcement training, she began to see the world differently. Helping Elsa find her forever home was life-changing, and it inspired me to help more animals like her. That’s how Pawsitivity Unleashed came to be.
​
I’m now a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Professional (KPA-CTP) and have also completed courses like Dog Trainer Foundations, Puppy Start Right, and attended ClickerExpo, learning from some of the best in the field. I believe every animal—no matter their breed, age, or species—deserves kind, science-based training that helps them feel safe and understood.
​
While earning my certification, I even had the chance to work with captive-bred foxes at a local sanctuary, focusing on cooperative care and a bit of fun trick training, too. It was such a rewarding experience and expanded how I approach training across species.
When I’m not working with clients or training my own German Shepherd, Pudge, I’m usually doing something to keep learning—whether that’s reading a new behavior book or attending a seminar. But I also love reading just for fun, spending time outdoors (especially fishing or relaxing at the lake), and hanging out with my friends and family. You’ll often find me cheering on my little cousins at their hockey and lacrosse games!
