So, we finally started filming for the Pet Parenting School. I thought I would send you the press release info so that if you live in the Big Bear area, or have a friend in the area, you can share.

However, even if you don't you may submit a video for assessment. Just fill out the form when you click Canine Casting Call at ArkAnimals.Com and put that in the notes.

Hope the summer is treating you well. I am excited to finally have begun filming after such a long delay!

Canine Casting Call: Delinquent Dogs & Misbehaving Mutts!

Do you have a delinquent dog or puppy whose behavior is a pain? If so, it is time for animal school - - and there is a special opportunity for pet parents that will help you morph your precious pet into a mannered mutt!

Consider this your personal canine casting call. Pet dog and puppy owners around the area will get the chance to work with veteran animal behaviorist & trainer, Diana L Guerrero of Ark Animals. Some pet parents will also have the opportunity to be highlighted in a new series that will help other animal owners, too.

Selected participants will work closely with Guerrero during program development of the Pet Parenting School, a series of educational modules designed to provide continuing education to animal owners online. The program will provide a variety of multimedia options to assist pet owners across the United States.

Guerrero has trained hundreds of pets throughout the mountain area and is no stranger to the Big Bear Valley, San Bernardino county or Riverside. She first began offering animal training here back in the late 1980s when she developed and ran animal training programs for Big Bear, Lake Arrowhead and Crestline.

At the time, Ark Animals partnered with other animal businesses and the local park district until she left the valley to train animals for a world famous zoo.

You may have worked with her before or caught a glimpse of the “Ark Lady” giving expert comments on Animal Planet or the Discovery Channel. Although her work has taken her around the world, the lure of the southern California mountains drew her back to the Big Bear valley where she resides full time.

What you might not know is that the Ark Lady holds a degree in animal training & management, along with numerous other related certifications, and is the author of several books. She began her career with marine mammals, then worked with wild and exotic animals until she relocated to Big Bear to work with pets.
