New Certification! Separation Anxiety Professional Behavior Consultant

I am so excited to my new certification as a separation anxiety behavior consultant! I have worked so hard and worked with so many amazing clients and dogs to have been able to achieve this new level of certification.

See the Instagram post from Julie Naismith:

“🥳 Say hi to Kelly Hayden of Ardent Dog, newly Certified SA Pro Behavior Consultant.

Kelly was able to show that she had:

🐶 consulted across a wide range of case-types, including hyper-attachment, multi-dog households, puppies, seniors dogs.

🎗 acted as a mentor to newer SA Pro Trainers (supporting your fellow trainers is a strong ethos of the SA Pro community 💕).

👩‍⚕️ worked in a multi-disciplinary team.

👏 resolved cases where dogs regressed.

It's a big ask. Kelly submitted multiple videos for review, collected feedback from clients, and got input from SA Pro Trainers she had mentored.

On top of that she had to share a case log to demonstrate that she had met the necessary hours criteria.

Not an easy process to go through but Kelly did brilliantly! 🙌

The Cert. SAPBC designation is not about status. We place a big emphasis on leadership, compassion, and co-operation. 💕

The focus of the designation is making the world a better place for dogs,🐕 their humans 👩‍👩‍👧‍👧 , and the separation anxiety trainers who try to help them.

You are awesome, Kelly and you should be very proud of your amazing accomplishment. 🙌”
