Renee Rhoades, MSc / Applied Animal Behaviorist

My journey into the field of canine behavior has been fueled by a lifelong dedication to enhancing the lives of dogs and their humans. From an early age, my love for dogs was unmistakable—my family often jokes that I was born with a deep connection to them. This passion truly blossomed when I began volunteering at my local ASPCA during high school, where I gained firsthand experience with dogs' diverse needs and unique personalities.

This pivotal experience led me to dedicate a decade to veterinary medicine, where I honed my understanding of animal health and welfare. Yet, it became clear to me that physical healing was only part of the equation. To truly support dogs and their guardians, I also needed to delve deeper into the intricacies of canine mental health. This realization drove me to pursue further education, dedicating another decade to shifting my focus to canine behavior.

As an Applied Animal Behaviorist and the founder of R+Dogs, I am committed to offering evidence-based, compassionate behavior consulting and educational opportunities that prioritize the highest ethical and welfare-based practices.

My mission is simple: to empower you with the knowledge and skills to unlock your dog’s full potential and make their short lives as fulfilling and joyful as possible.
