About Bright Hound Dog Training

Malli is a reward based/”force free” Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) out of Langford, British Columbia; she has been professionally training dogs for 6 years, and volunteer-assisting and training as a hobby for 10 years. CPDT certification requires continuing education, which means clients get the latest, most innovative, and up to date training techniques.

Further experience Malli has in dog care includes extensive experience working with 25 permanent resident dogs at a private kennel, and four years in the fast paced high stakes as a Veterinary Assistant in an Emergency Hospital.  

She lives with Uzi, an American Staffordshire Terrier. Together they enjoy hiking, exploring, camping, and training together. Both Malli and Uzi enjoy learning new things and improving their skills and working relationship.
