About Me

Lori Holmberg, M.A. is professionally certified by the Animal Behavior Society as and Associate Applied Animal Behaviorist. Lori is professionally certified by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers as a dog trainer. Lori received her Master of Arts degree in Psychobiology from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. Lori assisted the veterinarian at Omaha's Henry Doorly Zoo in the training of three male gorillas. The research and training resulted in the first test tube gorilla baby. She is a member of The Animal Behavior Society. Lori is an animal behavior consultant and dog obedience trainer. She uses positive reinforcement techniques to train and change behavior. Lori's behavior modification and obedience training methods are based on the scientific learning theory for humans and animals. Lori does not use aversives in her practice. Her philosophy is to motivate pets to work for what they want (treats, toys, praise, attention) rather than to avoid what they do not want (punishment such as shock or pinch/choke). The owner/pet relationship is built on trust and is fun!
