About Me
Meet Jennifer: Your Partner for a Pawsome Life with Your Pet
Hi, I'm Jennifer Pallanich (pronounced Pal-a-nitch), CPDT-KSA, and the owner of Pawsome Pet Pal. My mission at Pawsome Pet Pal is simple: to empower you to build an extraordinary bond with your furry companion. I’ve dedicated years to understanding how animals learn and communicate so I can help families like yours navigate challenges and build a lifetime of joyful memories with their pets.
Core Principles
Pawsome Pet Pal’s approach to training is rooted in core principles that prioritize your pet’s well-being and strengthen your relationship. These guiding beliefs inform every session:
People and animals alike are always doing the best they can with what they have at any given moment. When they know better, they do better.
Trust, respect, love, and positive reinforcement form the foundation of extraordinary relationships.
Positive reinforcement is the gold standard for effective training. It fosters stronger bonds, builds desired behaviors faster, and promotes lasting results.
Expertise You Can Trust
As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Knowledge and Skills Assessed (CPDT-KSA), a member of and volunteer with the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, and certified through Fear-Free Shelters, I adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards in the industry. I am continuously expanding my knowledge to bring you the most effective and humane training solutions.
Giving My Life to Dog (And Cat!)
My journey into the world of animal behavior began in 2017 when I started volunteering at a no-kill animal shelter in Houston. There, I witnessed firsthand the incredible transformation that positive reinforcement could bring to the lives of vulnerable pets. The experience ignited a profound desire to help animals and their humans forge stronger, more harmonious bonds. I gave my life to dog—and cat!—and immersed myself in the science and art of behavior modification.
This dedication led me to earn my CPDT-KA and CPDT-KSA certifications through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers as well as a Fear Free Shelter certification, and to join and volunteer the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, in addition to ongoing shelter volunteer work.
My learning didn’t stop there. I believe that “when we know better, we do better,” and this philosophy fuels my lifelong commitment to continuous education. I’m dedicated to staying at the forefront of animal behavior and training research, ensuring I provide my clients with the most up-to-date, science-based methods and approaches available.
I founded Pawsome Pet Pal because I discovered that sweet spot where my skills and passions align with a genuine need in the world: empowering humans to build extraordinary bonds with their furry companions.
