About 

My name is Camille Asmer and I am the owner and head trainer at Sit, Stay, Play Dog Training & Behavior.

Studying about dogs is absolutely fascinating to me so you can always find me taking a class in my free time. Here are some of the education opportunities that I’ve had:

• Aggression in Dogs Master class, Michael Shikashio
• Living and Learning With Animals, Dr. Susan Friedman
• Graduated with honors from CATCH Canine Trainers Academy
• Studied clicker training through Karen Pryor Academy
• Attended seminars from amazing leaders in the dog training industry such as Emily Larlham, Susan Freidman, Jean Donaldson, Patricia McConnell, Debbie Jacobs, Ken Ramirez, Chiraq Patel, and Denise Fenzi.
• Enjoyed online classes studying not only training, but dog behavior and applied animal behavior analysis.
• Worked for Project 2 Heal as the Head Trainer. Our goal was to breed, raise, and train Labrador Retrievers to become service dogs or highly skilled companion dogs for people with disabilities.
• Worked for Zoom Room Dog Training where I taught private and group lessons in obedience and agility.

I have earned national certifications:

 – Certified Dog Behavior Consultant (CDBC) and Accredited Dog Trainer (ADT) through the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC).

– Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT) and Certified Behavior Consultant Canine (CBCC) by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), an independent council that works to maintain high-proficiency standards in the dog training industry.

I am also a Certified Fear Free Professional trainer. Fear Free professionals work hard to lower pets’ stress levels during veterinarian visits and in their everyday lives.

My passion is helping people reach their goals with their dogs. Whether it’s instructing all levels of obedience to dogs and their humans or helping a dog with a behavior issue, I’ll always be using a positive reinforcement-based, scientific approach. The greatest joy in my job is watching the client-dog bond that is formed through force-free training!

Since every dog is a unique individual, we are constantly studying our craft to find different techniques and solutions that will help you and your pup(s) communicate and understand each other. To better help you, here are some of the education opportunities that I’ve enjoyed:

• Worked at multiple daycares teaching facility staff about body language and safe ways to manage playgroups.
• Volunteered at multiple Humane Societies across the country providing enrichment and training foundation exercises. 
• Competed in Rally with my Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Together we achieved a Rally Advanced Title.

I have earned national certifications:

There is no “one size fits all” training plan that can be applied to all dogs and their families. I will be able to give you a variety of tools for your training toolbox to find what works best for your lifestyle. Often by changing the environment surrounding our dogs’ unwanted behaviors, we can provide alternate options that will keep everyone happy.
