Cindy was born with a passion for animals. At a young age, she began training the family pets and helping friends get their own dogs under control. She was fortunate enough to live next door to her grandparents who bred German Shepherds for many years before choosing to get their first Doberman Pincher, Cassie. She was tasked to “train” Cassie and decided to enroll in a formal dog obedience training class taught by a her favorite English teacher. Seeing her natural talent and desire, the instructor asked for her help in future classes—beginning her quest to be a professional trainer.

Cindy attributes her desire to helping others to the lessons taught to her by her mother’s compassion and generosity. It was not unusual for the entire family to be seen at the local animal shelter on the weekends volunteering. 

After graduating from the Arizona Canine Academy, she took her passion to new heights by developing Oh, Behave Pet Training & Behavior Solutions, LLC. She constantly aspires to develop and enhance her training knowledge in order to give her clients the best by attending workshops and training conferences every year. 

Cindy is a professional dog trainer (PDT), certified trick dog instructor (CTDI), certified canine conditioning fitness coach (CCCFC), an AKC Instructor/Evaluator, a Stunt Dog Judge and a Reiki level 2 practitioner.
