Meet Our Trainer
I'm Pilar, a certified dog trainer with over 10 years of experience. My journey with dogs began during my childhood in Quito, Ecuador, where I frequently brought home abandoned street dogs in need of care and love. My passion for animal welfare and education led me to become a certified dog trainer, and I'm proud to be a part of the Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior.
