Northern Virginia based certified canine separation anxiety trainer and honors graduate of Jean Donaldson’s prestigious Academy for Dog Trainers, Tracy Krulik, CTC, CSAT, is the founder and managing editor of iSpeakDog — a website and public awareness campaign to teach dog body language and behavior. Krulik trains dogs with separation anxiety for the Humane Rescue Alliance in Washington, D.C. and private clients around the U.S. remotely online. Her writing can be found in publications including The Bark magazine, The Washington Post, and The Chronicle of the Dog.

Krulik was a 2017 finalist for woman of the year through the Women in the Pet Industry Network, as well as a finalist in the 2017 Dog Writers Association of America competition for both her website ispeakdog.org and her Bark Magazine article “Eager to Please.” She is honored to be included in Companion Animal Psychology’s Pet People to Follow in 2018.

Krulik is an advocate for force-free dog training and loves helping fearful dogs discover confidence and joy — just as she did for her once “fraidy” pup, Emma the Beagle, who overcame her own battle with separation anxiety. Visit www.tracykrulik.com to learn more.
