Our Training Philosophy
At Happy Paws Home Care, our commitment lies in employing science-based, force-free training methods firmly grounded in cutting-edge research on animal behavior and learning theory. In short: We strive to help our clients cultivate an exceptional positive relationship with their pets while addressing concerning behavior or reviewing the basics.
We endeavor to understand each of our client’s individual needs and tailor our education to their unique situation. Additionally, Happy Paws recognizes that Cincinnati dog training is an unregulated field—further emphasizing the importance of understanding your trainer’s approach.
About the Trainer
Tiffany Hubert is an experienced professional dog trainer based in Cincinnati, Ohio. She has over 5 years of experience in the field. In 2017, Tiffany earned her Certificate of Training and Counseling (CTC) from Jean Donaldson’s prestigious Academy of Dog Trainers. She is also a certified trainer through the Council for the Certification of Professional Dog Trainers (CPDT-KA) and a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT). Tiffany specializes in a diverse range of training areas, with a primary focus on teaching obedience, addressing dog reactivity, and delving into various aspects of canine behavior. Additionally, Tiffany utilizes positive reinforcement training when working with animals to enhance the bond between dog and owner, choosing to forgo more punitive training techniques such as use of prong and E-collars.
Tiffany’s passion for canine companionship extends to her personal life. She shares her time and adventures with Taru, her spirited 2-year-old Finnish Lapphund. Together, they engage in FastCAT, scent work, barn hunt and rally. When not engaged in Cincinnati dog training, Tiffany enjoys knitting, crocheting, sewing, and her passion for Renaissance Faires and re-enacting.
