In addition to the HLLC, Cherisse also volunteered at the Wolf Sanctuary of Pennsylvania to learn more about dogs from a primal point of view from 2015 to 2020. Cherisse worked with all of these dogs to help them to overcome their behavioral challenges and to become more adoptable.

Many of the dogs that Cherisse was given to foster had various behavioral challenges including food aggression, alarm barking, and coprophagia, plus many of the dogs were puppy mill survivors and hoarding survivors which caused the dogs to be very fearful of humans, filled with anxiety, and somewhat feral. It was during her time as a foster mom for the Humane League of Lancaster that she became interested in pursuing a career in behavioral dog training, as opposed to obedience training. Dogs learn through repetition – good or bad – so we think that giving your dogs and puppies frequent opportunities to practice calm, respectful behaviors in the face of many distractions will set your dog/puppy up for success in the future.Ĭherisse Feddock founded The Zen Dog Den, LLC, and she is a Certified Dog Trainer with the International Association of Canine Professionals.Ĭherisse has trained under the best dog trainers in the world including Cesar Millan, Heather Beck, The Monks of New Skete, Martin Deeley, Jason Vasconi, Marc Goldberg, Cheri Lucas, and Nelson Hodges.Ĭherisse began her career with dogs while volunteering for the Humane League of Lancaster from 2009 – 2015 where she fostered 40+ dogs over 6 years, walked the dogs at the shelter weekly, campaigned for dogs to be adopted via social media, spoke to local schools, and organizations about what shelters do for a community, and served on the Board of Directors. More than anything, these Pack Walks present an opportunity for our beloved dogs and puppies to practice calm, respectful behaviors in the face of other dogs and other distractions rather than practicing excitement or other unwanted behaviors.

These Pack Walks are free of charge with no RSVP needed. In addition to the in-home training, all of our clients who complete the program are invited to attend frequent “Saturday Morning Zen Dog Pack Walks” at a local park in Lancaster, PA, to practice what they have learned during training in an area of many distractions. Our goal is to provide you with the tools and techniques that will elicit a calmer, more respectful puppy or adult dog.Īll of the training is done in your home working one-on-one with you and your puppy/dog which is usually where all of the unwanted behaviors occur in the first place. The team of trainers at The Zen Dog Den are behavioral experts that can help you if your dog is pulling on the leash, jumping up on people, excessively barking, counter-surfing, mouthing, exhibiting separation anxiety, attacking the vacuum cleaner, chewing up things in your house, or even if you have a puppy and you want to be proactive about preventing these aforementioned behaviors. Our program takes a behavioral, instinctual, and primal approach to working with dogs and puppies, and provides a relationship-based foundation for dogs and puppies to best bond with their owners. The Zen Dog Den, LLC, is a Behavioral Dog Training Program that gives dog owners and their dogs or puppies an alternative to traditional obedience training.
