Dr. Evan Antin – Founder and Certified Dog Trainer
Dr. Evan Antin Certified Professional Dog Trainer, CPDT-KA, Canine Nutritionist, MBA
My name is Dr. Evan Antin and I’m the founder of The Pet Guidance. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, CPDT-KA, and a Certified Canine Nutritionist with over 15 years of experience in the pet industry.
My journey with dogs began at a very young age. Growing up in a household where pets were considered family, I developed a deep bond with animals, especially dogs. This bond sparked a passion that shaped my life’s work. I am not only a certified dog trainer but also an advocate of holistic pet care, which focuses on the overall well-being of dogs through training, nutrition, and personal care.
A Lifelong Passion for Dogs
My path to becoming a certified dog trainer began with my experiences raising my first dog, Max, a playful but stubborn Border Collie mix. Max taught me the importance of patience, empathy, and understanding each dog’s unique personality. These early lessons were the foundation of my approach to dog training—an approach that emphasizes kindness, trust, and respect.
I received formal education in animal behavior and dog psychology, and earned several certifications in dog training and nutrition. My studies included canine behavior science, positive reinforcement techniques, and holistic nutrition practices. Over the years, I worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments, helping countless families build deeper bonds with their furry friends.
With over 10 years of experience in the pet care industry, I specialize in obedience training, behavior modification, and customized nutrition plans. My expertise extends to working with rescue dogs, senior pets, and dogs with special needs. I believe that every dog has the potential to thrive in a loving home, and I committed to providing pet parents with the tools and knowledge they need to do so.
My training methods are based on positive reinforcement, encouraging good behavior through praise, rewards and consistency rather than punishment. I understand that every dog is unique and tailor her training programs to meet the specific needs of each pet, ensuring they feel safe, understood, and loved.
The Pet Guidance – A Vision Realized
I founded The Pet Guidance to create a community where dog owners can learn, grow, and connect with their pets. My mission is to offer a supportive environment where every pet can thrive, and every owner feels confident in their ability to care for their furry family member.
