A thoughtful way to train
Meet Christa Shannon
A veterinary technician turned professional dog trainer who believes that how we teach matters.
Helpful hands. An open mind.
Christa began her career as a veterinary technician. Seeing the behavior questions clients faced inspired her to focus on animal training and create Zen Critter.
Her approach is rooted in compassionate, science-based methods and positive reinforcement. The goal is to help people and their dogs understand one another and build useful skills without fear or force.
