Cindy Peacock - Animal Trainer

Cindy Peacock - Animal Trainer My training is based on a simple concept: reward the behaviours you want... In 2004 she joined the Calgary Zoo, and spent six years as a keeper/trainer.

For over 20 years, Cindy has devoted herself to the care, understanding, and development of the human-animal bond. Her philosophy is that when we bring animals into our world we have a responsibility to work with them through training to not only manage that shared world, but to thrive in it. Her goal is to keep dogs in their homes forever, and help their human companions reap the joys and rewards

that such relationships bring. Her work started with fostering animals, working with each as an individual to ensure they would have the best possible chance for success in a new home. In 2010, she realized she could make a more direct impact by applying her years of experience and knowledge to working intimately with dogs and their humans, fostering positive and compassionate communication and a fun, meaningful, rewarding relationship. Cindy is a Karen Pryor Academy Certified Training Partner (KPA CTP) and has served as Apprentice for the Calgary Humane Society, teaching behaviour classes and working on assessments of incoming animals. She is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT KA) and a Certified Behaviour Consultant Canine (CBCC KA) and has countless hours of first-hand experience working with almost every conceivable behavioral situation. Cindy volunteers extensively with organizations including the Animal Rescue Foundations of Alberta and Ontario (ARF), the Calgary Humane Society and Little Mittens Rescue Society.

What can a dog trainer learn from another discipline?

Probably more than you think.

Some of the biggest breakthroughs in animal training haven't come from staying within one species—they've come from looking beyond it.

What can equine trainers teach us about timing and feel?
What can wildlife trainers teach us about choice and trust?
What can veterinary behaviour teach us about cooperative care?
What can applied animal behaviour, parrot behaviour, human psychology, and behavioural science add to the way we work with dogs?

Whether you train companion dogs, work in veterinary medicine, behaviour consulting, wildlife, zoos, shelters, or another animal profession, the principles of learning don't stop at species boundaries.

Join us at BehavioUr Eh! 2027 as experts from diverse disciplines come together to explore one shared goal:

Cooperative care through evidence, empathy, and choice.
