Hello! My name is Maria Kellerman and I am the owner of Lifetime Pet Training, LLC. I am certified in clicker training through Karen Pryor Academy (KPA-CTP). I am Fear Free certified (FFCP). I have completed Victoria Stilwell‘s Academy and became a certified dog trainer (VSA-CDT). My whole life I have had a passion for helping animals and people. I have been riding horses for ten years. I also worked in the veterinary field for three years before dog training became my calling. I enjoy educating pet owners on humane and ethical ways to train animals. I hope to change the traditional approach to dog training by teaching others that training with positive reinforcement yields long-lasting results, and promotes a healthier relationship with your pet.
