Jennifer White has actively developed her training techniques and understanding of animal behavior during her 18 years as a professional trainer and consultant. She stays current through attendance of seminars and workshops, literary research, and contact with colleagues.
While working at the MSPCA and Angell Memorial Animal Hospital in Boston during the late 1980's, she participated in a canine rehabilitation project and was chosen by Amy Marder, then national president of the Animal Behavior Association, to help pilot a new positive obedience training program. At the New England Aquarium, Jennifer served as a marine mammal trainers' assistant and education associate.
Her professional experience is complimented by a degree from Tufts University in child development, by additional coursework in animal behavior at Harvard University, and by a true joy of working with people and their animals.
Jennifer recently married colleague Steve White, joining forces in their mission to change the way animals are trained around the world. They offer educational seminars, training classes, & workshops for animal owners and professional trainers who are committed to using motivational, non-force methods that preserve a positive relationship and that keep training fun for all. See more about their new training facility, Rivendale Learning Center, in Maltby, WA: www.RivendaleLearningCenter.com.
Jennifer & Steve also offer private behavior consultation services for all animal species. The other part of Jennifer's practice involves preparing flower essence therapy blends for people and animals all around the world to help with behavior and health concerns.
Jennifer recently became a BICOM bioresonance therapy practitioner so she can bring this amazing healing technology to her clients.
Jennifer is thrilled to serve in a community of dedicated people who care deeply for their animals and she looks forward to lending a helping hand in their lives together.
