Amanda Cowden holds a Masters Degree in Canine Life Science from Bergin University

focus on PTSD relief, mobility work, and MST (Military Sexual Trauma). In her studies, she
became interested in Animal Behavior and the capabilities for animals to learn new tasks and
concepts. Amanda currently lives in the Greater Sacramento Region of California, where she
moved with her husband from Southern California for a quieter life.

Amanda has owned a variety of animals and has trained even more. From fish to Guinea
Pigs, rats, pigs, goats, dogs, cats, local birds, etc, she believes there is always something to
teach and always a way to allow animals and humans to learn.
