CARLIE SEELIG MILLER
KPA CTP
OWNER/HEAD TRAINER
Since the day she brought home her very own puppy, Carlie has been deeply involved in many areas of the canine training field including pet dog training, shelter and rescue, competitive dog sports, and AKC Dog Shows; most recently delving into service dog training.
Carlie’s academic background encompasses the science and philosophy of learning, as well as educational theory. Prior to becoming a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, Carlie spent many happy years with a career as a teacher. It was through dog training, however, that she discovered she could significantly and positively impact two species simultaneously. She now finds her passion in educating humans about canine cognition while training canines in cooperative behaviors to further enhance the human-animal bond.
Carlie is a firm believer in lifelong learning. She constantly hones her academic expertise and theoretical knowledge as well as her applied skills through workshops, seminars, classes and conferences. Training with Carlie means you too gain access to the cutting-edge science and will learn just how much it can help you and your dog achieve new heights of teamwork as you work toward your goals together.
ADAM HAJSZ
VOLUNTEER TRAINING ASSISTANT
Adam has grown up in Europe where he spent most of the summer at his grandparent’s farm. They had many animals including dogs as well. He grow up playing and loving them, but as a child he never really understood how to communicate effectively with them, until he bought his first puppy as an adult. Ever since they started taking their first puppy classes, he has been working on getting to know more and more about how and why dogs behave the way they do and how to communicate with them in the most effective way, which creates that special bond between dogs and humans.
After taking his first puppy class within a couple months he started volunteering for Sirius Puppy Training by assisting Carlie. Helping her out to assure the delivery of the best puppy classes in San Francisco. All the patience, knowledge and skill he knows and uses to teach his dog – Spock – came from Carlie, while he continues to learn more and more every day to become a well educated positive dog trainer.
