Where Passion for Pets Meets Life-Saving Education

I’ve been a lifelong advocate for animal health and safety, and I bring my deep experience in the pet industry to my work at ProTrainings. As a positive reinforcement, fear-free certified dog trainer—and an accomplished dog agility competitor and instructor—I’m passionate about empowering pet owners and professionals with the knowledge they need to act confidently in emergencies. I’m here to help bring this life-saving education to as many people as possible, because our pets depend on us.

If you have a pet-related question, I’m always happy to help—backed by our dedicated team of ProTrainings specialists who are ready to support you with any aspect of our training and certification programs.

Warmly,
Cara Armour
