About Tori Ganino
TRANSFORMING YOUR DOG INTO A CALM COMPANION
Tori’s journey into the world of dog behavior began over 15 years ago during her undergraduate studies in Psychology, where she worked with children and adults with emotional and behavioral concerns, applying behavior plans developed by professionals. This foundational experience sparked her interest in behavioral science and its applications to animal behavior.
Motivated to delve deeper into dog behavior, Tori pursued specialized training at the Animal Behavior College. She was mentored by experts in obedience, reactivity, and aggression and further sought a second mentor focused specifically on aggression and reactivity to enhance her skills.
Since founding Calling All Dogs in 2014, Tori has dedicated herself to applying her deep knowledge and personalized training methods. She specializes in addressing issues like barking, lunging, and biting and has developed particular expertise in proper puppy socialization and raising puppies, ensuring they grow into well-behaved adults who listen and respond to their owners.
Tori has earned numerous certifications, each backed by hundreds of hands-on hours and rigorous case studies. Her ongoing professional development includes significant certifications such as the Forensics of Aggression Certificate of Completion, Dynamic Dog Practitioner, and Aggression in Dogs Certificate of Completion, which bolster her expertise in handling complex canine behaviors.
Her expertise and dedication have been widely recognized within the industry. She was recruited by the Victoria Stilwell Academy and the Animal Behavior College, institutions where she now serves as a mentor trainer. In 2022, she was honored as New York’s #1 Dog Trainer.
Tori is also an expert witness used by the courts for cases involving dangerous dogs. She continues to refine her skills through continuing education at conferences and hands-on applications, ensuring her methods remain at the forefront of the field. Her contributions to dog behavior have been extensively featured in leading industry journals. Her published articles include:
