Briahna Hendey has a Masters of Science in Environment and Natural Resources (Environmental Social Science), and an undergraduate background in Biology and Psychology. She is very interested in how well-being and sustainable lifestyles intersect, and in turn, helping people live more mindful, connected lives. As an avid dog lover herself, she believes that dogs and sustainability aren't mutually exclusive. After rescuing her own dog Boba, she was shocked at the absence of sustainability information in the dog community, so she took it upon herself to help provide it. Some of her previous work experience includes an educational role at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, which reaffirmed her passion for consent-based, positive reinforcement training for all species

Today I'm joined by Mandy Boutelle CCT, CTBC

Mandy first started out in the dog industry as a certified professional dog walker, turned certified trainer while living in San Francisco and realized there was a big gap in the R+ community - quality, cool and nerdy t-shirts to wear while out training with her client and personal dogs! She is the main face behind Woof Cultr and handles everything from social media to customer service emails and making sure orders get moving. Her whole mission for Woof Cultr is to help spread the word of more humane training methods, through her gear by creating shirts for trainers, dog nerds, behaviorists and anyone who loves working with their animals in a positive and humane way! Mandy is very passionate about only using humane training methods and always making sure the animals in her care are advocated for in all situations.
