Sydney's unwavering dedication to animals spans over a decade of experience in various animal-related fields, including pet care, doggie daycare’s, animal shelters, horse stables, veterinary clinics, and an ADI-accredited school. Her lifelong passion for working with animals led her to attain numerous training certifications and establish Happy Leashes.

Founded out of a deep love for animals, Happy Leashes was born with the mission to promote evidence based, force-free training methods and spread the message of positive reinforcement.

As the Owner of Happy Leashes, Sydney prioritizes continuous education and upholds the standards set by veterinary behavior professionals and leading animal behavior experts. By implementing our training programs, we empower you to build a truly lasting and harmonious relationship with your pet.

Sydney's commitment to excellence is exemplified by her graduation from the prestigious Karen Pryor Academy for Animal Behavior (KPA-CTP). As a proud member of the Pet Professional Guild (PPG), and the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC) she strives to adopt and implement the latest information into training. As a Fear-Free Dog Trainer and an AKC Good Citizen Evaluator Sydney stays at the forefront of industry best practices and developments.

Furthermore, Sydney's dedication to animal behavior extends beyond pet training. She specialized in training and integrating service dogs for veterans and military families at Southeastern Guide Dogs, an ADI accredited guide and service dog school in Palmetto, Florida. Now, Sydney is excited to re-focus her expertise training your pets.

When Sydney isn't passionately training your beloved pets, she shares her life with her husband, three rescue dogs, and two rescue cats of her own: Tucker, Maggie, Remus, Guinness, and “Little Kitty” . Each of them possesses their own delightful quirks that we adore.

Join Sydney and the Happy Leashes team on a transformative journey to unlock your pet's full potential and create a profound bond that will enrich both of your lives forever!
