Ezra Tapia CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA
My journey in animal training and behavior began in 2010 when I adopted Honeybear, a sweet pit bull with complex behavior challenges. My passion for facilitating the human-animal bond through evidence-based methods was ignited as I learned to support Honeybear in living a peaceful life. I have since worked in a variety of animal welfare organizations over 14 years with a focus on cat and dog behavior.
I find joy in teaching animals and their guardians to navigate and overcome complex behavior and training issues. I am committed to continually expanding my education and training skills to provide expert support for hyperactive, fearful, and anxious animals. Over my career I have completed in-depth education programs diving into topics such as cat behavior, applied animal behavior, behavior analysis, aggressive behavior in dogs, across species training, and low stress veterinary handling.
My spouse and I share our home with our affectionate Cane Corso and three clever rat.
