ABOUT THE TRAINER

​

Becca Stern is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA), whose primary focus is to create and support a healthy quality of life for her clients, through her company BlackDog Behavior and Training, LLC. She is so excited to expand that work into group classes with Riverfront Pets!

 

In 2014, Becca began her career working on the frontlines in animal welfare, and quickly became a leader in the field - positioned as Director of Adoptions for a shelter in Washington, D.C., and subsequently Director of Operations for a shelter based in Pennsylvania. 

 

She has now merged her behavior certification with her extensive animal welfare background to continue helping people and animals in her community. Becca works with a variety of behaviors - puppy socialization, basic manners for all ages, and specializes in reactivity, fear, anxiety, and select aggression cases. She has a special place in her heart for shelter dogs, and welcomes clients of all breeds, ages, and sizes! When she isn't working with animals, Becca enjoys cooking, singing and playing guitar,  and spending time outdoors.
