Cara is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) and is CAP1 certified. Cara also holds a Juris Doctorate from the University of Connecticut School of Law and she practiced law for several years before embarking on her career with dogs.
Building on the work begun by Dr. Ian Dunbar in categorizing dog bites through the use of a linear hierarchy and consulting with a veterinary behaviorist, emergency room veterinarian, emergency room physician, general practice physician, and other experts in the field of canine behavior, Cara's DVD presents comprehensive bite hierarchies for analyzing bites to humans and other dogs. Cara then uses photos and case studies to help consultants gain fluency in applying the hierarchy to actual cases and bites.
