About Me

Shana Yadid, ABCDT

Shana has always had a special connection with animals, especially the misunderstood! This has led to a love of working with rescue dogs and a sense of pride in having trained well over 300 dogs (and owners) throughout her career.

​

Shana enrolled in dog training school summer of 2012 after being inspired by reading a book by Temple Grandin called "animals in translation, using the mysteries of autism to decode animal behavior" - subsequently, in 2015, Shana was hired by Petco thanks to a strong reference by her training mentor.

​

At Petco Chicago, Shana was quickly herself promoted to a trainer mentor and taught three new trainers over her one and a half years service before her relocation to North Carolina. Shana worked as a dog trainer for Petco here in NC for a further six months before working towards setting up her own business.

​

Shana has always had a love for all animals, especially dogs. Having personally rescued and adopted 7 dogs she has assisted in the rescue and adoption of countless others. She loves working with shelters to improve training tactics used with problem dogs both in Chicago and NC.

​

In addition to being a Certified Dog Trainer through the Animal Behavior College, Shana is working toward her CPDT-KA certification.
