TapTalk Featuring Traci Swearer, Owner of Valiant Canine Training
February 4 @ 6:30 pm - 7:30 pm
Traci’s Journey in Dog Training
Traci has worked with dogs for 9 years. First, she started in the Florida Keys as a dog walker, sitter, and basic obedience trainer. Then, she moved to Mobile, Alabama. There, she joined Grunt Style Canine Training, where she focused on behavior modification.
Because of this experience, Traci developed a soft spot for challenging behavioral cases. Moreover, she loves canine neuroscience. She wants to understand why dogs behave the way they do.
Her Training Philosophy
Traci believes good training builds three key things. First, it creates confidence. Second, it provides clarity. Third, it strengthens relationships between dogs and owners.Additionally, Traci is a proud Coast Guard spouse. She is also a full-time dog mom to Piper and Kino. When she’s not training, she adventures with her pups, takes photos, reads about dogs or neuroscience, or enjoys family time.
The Topic: Stress Isn’t the Enemy – How Your Dog Learns, Remembers, and Thrives
In this talk, Traci will explain how stress affects dogs. Stress isn’t always bad. In fact, it can help dogs grow when managed well. She’ll share insights from canine neuroscience.For example, you’ll learn how dogs process stress. Then, discover how they learn and remember new behaviors. Finally, see ways to help them thrive.
Therefore, this session is perfect for dog owners, trainers, or anyone curious about dog behavior in Northern Michigan.
