Gwen Urie

I have been working as a Dog Trainer and Canine Behavioral Consultant since 1999, training dogs and teaching people the skills necessary to make living with their dogs positive, productive, and fun! Working with dogs was an early calling for me, starting as a kennel assistant at a local veterinary hospital when I was in my early teens. I continued to work with dogs as a veterinary technician and a kennel manager, went on to teach obedience classes and private in-home sessions. I have been helping people raise puppies for over 20 years, have shown and handled my own dogs and others in the AKC conformation show ring, and have taught AKC Canine Good Citizen classes and AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy classes. I am also a Professional Member of APDT (Association of Professional Dog Trainers). I assisted in raising dogs to live “as family” in Nursing Homes as part of a bigger nationwide effort called “The Eden Alternative,” with a mission to improve the lives of older adults lacking close family support. Training your dog is all about relationship and communication. More than anything, dogs want fit in and understand what is expected of them. Once you learn to develop the relationship and utilize the communication skills and tools I teach you, you’ll see your ability to communicate with your dog open up in front of you. The joy I get from seeing happy dogs and happy families is immeasurable.

Jeannie M. Seuffert

Treasure Coast CaninesCertified Dog Behavior Consultant with over a decade of training experience. I enjoy working with dogs of all breeds and ages. I am passionate about behavior. Being a curious person by nature, it has become my focus to understand behavior from the dog's point of view. When an owner has a better understanding of why their dog might be biting, fearful of things in the environment , or barking and lunging on leash, it's allows for a conversation that can help the pet parent can gain a better understanding of their dog. Owning a dog with aggressive behavior is very stressful and emotionally draining. I know I can help the dog, but it has become my life's mission to help the owners too.

Jeff K. Joyce

Jeff is certified by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, a member of The Association for Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and The Pet Professional Guild (PPG). He is the lead behavioral therapy trainer and program manager for the not-for-profit shelter program at A Sound Beginning Program. He helps thousands of dogs and cats every year in shelters across the country. He provides community support with virtual, phone or in-home behavioral consultations in order to help pet parents keep their animals instead of surrendering them to a shelter and he serves as a mentor for new and existing dog trainers in the Florida area.Jeff believes that teaching and training are both a science and an art. Understanding the science behind training is important but the timing and application of it is crucial to the overall process. Everything starts with forming a relationship, then blossoms into understanding and learning for both humans and canines. He follows simple guiding principles and a teaching philosophy based on four pillars of relationship bonding: Mutual Motivation, Mutual Communication, Mutual Trust and Mutual Respect. The experience between the human and canine working and learning together will create, strengthen, and maintain a bond for a lifetime.As a life-long learner, he enjoys reading books on training/canine language/animal behavior/ psychology, plus watching DVDs, taking online classes, and attending seminars on the same subject matter. Real world learning is based on numerous years of volunteering for various shelters, rescues, humane societies, and animal control. Mentoring and collaborating with colleagues is an invaluable resource to his canine training education. Joining the A Sound Beginning Program team reinforces Jeff’s desire to continue learning, sharing, and growing as well as becoming a more significant partner in the complete training process for both ends of the leash!Jeff lives in Florida (last six years) and is married to his soulmate for 40+ years. He is a proud grandpa too. He also shares his life with his canine companions and dog mentors, Missy and Lilly. They continue to teach Jeff the value of the Human-Canine bond.
