About Irith
My name is Irith (pronounced "Ee-reet") and I'm a certified professional pet and people trainer. My job is to help people create an environment where their pet has lots of good options, and almost always makes the right choices. Pets who are empowered to make their own choices are happier and more relaxed. Pets who make the right choices are a pleasure to live with. I’m an expert in making that happen.

BIOGRAPHY
Irith Bloom has been training animals since the 1980s. She has a Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from the University of Pennsylvania, and more hours of continuing education in animal training and behavior than anyone could possibly ever need–but she’s an education junkie and can’t help herself!
Irith is a CPDT-KSA, a CBCC-KA, a CDBC, a KPA CTP, a VSPDT, and a CBATI. She is also faculty at both Victoria Stilwell Dog Training Academy and DogBiz’s Dog Walking Academy, and she's certified in TAGteach, a positive reinforcement method for teaching humans.
Irith is a regular speaker at seminars and industry conferences. She is on the board of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), and Chair Emeritus of the Education Committee of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT).
Irith also volunteers for National English Shepherd Rescue, the Los Angeles County 2020 Healthy Pets Healthy Families Coalition, and Wallis Annenberg PetSpace.
