Who we are

Our Story

Alta is a qualified Thinking Pets Instructor and Guild Member based in Nelspruit, Mpumalanga.

She is also a qualified Animal Behaviourist who completed her Diploma through the Centre of Applied Pet Ethology (COAPE) SA – a qualification with International Academic Accreditation, as well as a member of the COAPE Association of Applied Pet Behaviourists & Trainers (CAPBT) SA.

Alta provides puppy socialisation, adolescent and adult training classes, as well as private one to one training using the clicker and other forms of positive reinforcement only. Classes are structured in such a way that clients will achieve the optimal results from training, while having fun with their pets at the same time.

TTouch is incorporated into the lesson plan to teach owners how to correctly handle their dog. Ultimately Alta wants to make sure that you and your dog are able to live together in peace for many years, so in class she will give you not only the relevant behavioural information, but also offer you the peace of mind that should you experience any problems, you can contact her any time for assistance.
