About One Smart Cookie K9 Services Inc.
Hi, I'm Andrea Davis, founder and head trainer of One Smart Cookie K9 Services.
I bring nearly 25 years of experience in fitness, wellness, training, and behavior to every client relationship.
As a Human-Canine Brain, Body and Behavior Coach, I specialize in fostering the deep connection between cognitive health and physical wellness. My holistic approach integrates expertise in human and canine fitness, behavior, and overall well-being, nurturing the bond between you and your dog for a healthier, happier life together.
Our name honors COOKIE, our loyal and loving Blue Heeler mix who inspired everything we do. She truly embodied the spirit of a "smart cookie."
Her legacy lives on in our commitment to helping other dogs and their people form relationships rooted in trust, joy, and understanding.
It's also a play on words being that we can use a 'cookie' in a smart way, positively reinforcing behaviors that we want to encourage in our dogs.
+R training motivates the dog; it builds trust and a strong bond between the dog and their human companion. It involves choice and a cooperative effort; therefore, training is not stressful but actually fun!
Hence, 'One Smart Cookie'!
We specialize in working with high-energy, busy-brained dogs, as well as those who experience fear, anxiety, or stress. Our expertise helps you, the pet parents, create calmer, happier homes while supporting their dog’s physical and mental well-being.
Our training methods are rooted in science-based, fear-free techniques recommended by leading organizations such as the American Veterinary Society of Animal Behavior (AVSAB), International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC), Pet Professionals Guild (PPG), and Fear Free Pets. These respected authorities emphasize humane, positive reinforcement training that prioritizes the emotional well-being and learning capacity of animals.
We also incorporate the latest research on brain health, neuroplasticity, and neurogenesis into our training methods and behavior modification plans. By engaging your dog's mind through targeted activities and enrichment, we support their ability to learn, adapt, and thrive. This approach not only improves behavior but also enhances your dog's mental resilience and overall quality of life.
Private training is personalized to meet your unique goals and your dog's individual needs, ensuring meaningful progress and lasting results. Group programs provide safe, structured, progressive learning environments designed to meet common training objectives, helping build skills and confidence at both ends of the leash in a social setting while stimulating cognitive development.
I am a Human-Canine Brain, Body, and Behavior Coach dedicated to helping you and your dog build a deeper connection while developing skills that support lifelong success. Through movement, enrichment, and science-based training, I guide both ends of the leash in creating a partnership built on trust, understanding, and joy.
With multiple certifications in both human and canine wellness, I take a holistic approach to training, ensuring a positive and stress-free experience for your dog.
