About
A comprehensive approach to maximizing animal admirability.
Every variable that shapes an animal's behavior, capacity, and presentation is within scope. Motivation, reinforcement history, physical wellness, enrichment, environment, and skill acquisition are not separate considerations. They are a single system. Expertise applied across all of it is genuinely reflective of what an animal is capable of under the right conditions.
Honoring animals for what they are, and working in cooperation with them.
Training built on cooperative participation and positive motivation produces results that are credible and consistent. Animals are not instruments to be managed into compliance. They are the point. Fulfilling species-specific needs, protecting choice and autonomy wherever possible, and maintaining welfare as a non-negotiable foundation is what makes the work meaningful and the results defensible.
Miranda Hebert, CPAT-KA
Certified Professional Animal Trainer - Knowledge Assessed (CPAT-KA) by the International Animal Trainers Certification Board (IATCB).
Miranda Hebert is an expertly-proficient animal training & behavior technician with over 20 years of hands-on animal training experience, and 12 years working as a professional consultant. She has worked with a variety of animal species and always looks forward to adding more to her list. She considers her skills in animal training and behavior analysis second only to her motivation for infinite learning, so long as it speaks to the 'nitty-gritty' applied science of behavior, or benefits the holistic wellness of the species she works with in order to better contribute to protecting and improving their lives through her work.
She is an advocate for live animal representation on screen, viewing this as an integral piece of protecting animal welfare through realistic depictions of animal behavior, expression, and inspiring heights of their true abilities. Miranda never wants to see a world where humans and animals can't coexist to the mutual benefit and support of each other's wellness, and has found her greatest strengths rooted in her experience teaching and learning from animals.
