Courtney and her dog Utah started doing dog sports 19 years ago. She has had a passion for training all types of animals and is currently the only person in Manitoba to have the Unionized title of Animal Trainer/Coordinator for motion pictures. Working with very big name actors on notable films and TV series.
She has traveled across North America performing with live canine entertainment shows since 2004, where she has entertained tens of thousands of people at some of the largest venues in the world.
Courtney has a passion for training with a focus on behavior, communication, cognitive thinking, cooperative care, operant conditioning and body language. She competes and trains in almost all aspects of dog sports, however sometimes her work in the film industry prevents her from entering competitions.
Her main goal and focus is to provide enrichment to canines. She truly believes that enrichment is an asset to any behavioral modification program.
