Erica Nance, MA, CPDT
Over the years, Erica has helped pet owners train their
dogs and helped shelter dogs to find their people.
With a Master's degree in Experimental Psychology specializing
in Evolutionary Psychology, she uses her knowledge
of both the human and the animal mind to make dog training
effective, fun, and stress-free for everyone involved.
Before
opening Dogs of Hudson, she owned and operated DogStar
Dog Training and Behavior Consulting, teaching private
lessons and group classes in Delaware County, New York.
Prior to that, she worked as the Manager of Operations
of the Animal Behavior Department at the ASPCA in New
York City. Her duties overseeing the day to day operations
of the department included evaluating the shelter dogs,
supervising staff, counseling adopters, and implementing
the shelter dogs' treatment protocols.
Erica has also
taught group classes and private lessons under the employment
of a well-known New York City dog training company and
volunteered at the adoption centers at Animal Haven Animal
Shelter, also in New York.
An enthusiast of clicker training,
Erica is dedicated to using positive reinforcement
with all her students: both human and animal.
Before
her career with dogs, Erica, a Vassar College graduate,
was employed in the mental health field. She shares her
home with a rescued Husky named Nova, and her husband
and young sons. The household is managed and directed
by an 13 year-old Border Collie named Jack.
Dog training should be fun for dogs and people. Modern,
humane methods of training make it just that.
We'll show you how to get your dog wanting to do what
you want her to do. No more choke chains, yelling,
coercion, pleading, or begging: just simple application
of the principles of learning. Dogs are animals after
all, and like us, their learning is subject to these
laws. Let's take advantage of that and get happy compliance
from our beloved beasts.
