Brenda Horowitz, CPDT-KA

Canine Trainer

Brenda Horowitz decided to become a trainer after adopting a reactive dog. Through his training process, she became intrigued with how dogs learn. She worked with and learned from many remarkable trainers until she decided to pursue a career in canine training herself. Brenda graduated from Catch Canine Dog Training Academy early in 2020 and received her CPDT-KA shortly thereafter. She continues to further her education and has expanded her knowledge of puppy socialization, dog reactivity, canine fitness, concept training, trick training, and more. When not training someone else’s dog, you will see her here at AWS working with her dog Stomper. He is her inspiration and greatest accomplishment. She hopes to bring the love of training to all pet parents.

Working with both children and pets takes a special and compassionate person, and that’s exactly how we would describe our Youth Programs volunteers! Alongside our Youth Programs Coordinator, volunteers help children visiting with AWS both inside and outside the classroom with fun games, tasks, education and, of course, animals. With programs like Rescue Readers, Furry Tales, and After School Club, there’s a lot to do around here regarding humane education! We’re grateful for the hard work and dedication of our Youth Programs volunteers who assist in teaching compassion, kindness, and care for all creatures!
