Hello

Erica’s love and passion for dogs started at a young age. As a child Erica was quickly and heavily enthralled in the world of animal advocacy, rescue, and rehabilitation. As a teenager, she participated in several internships with local dog training facilities and began her independent education through firsthand experience and studies. She officially started her small business when she was 16 years old and won awards and community nominations for her services and dedication to the community rescue efforts in Spring Tx. As her career continued to develop, she sought out a formal education and graduated from Starmark Academy School for Professional Dog Trainers as a Canine Training and Behavior Specialist. Upon program completion Erica went on to develop training programs and departments for other companies and earned her K9 CPR and first aid certification. She later returned to Starmark for a position as a trainer with the Behavior Center where she also became an AKC Evaluator. During her time in the training department, Erica discovered her passion for working with Behavior Modification cases. Her expertise in B-Mod accredited her with many remarkable success stories and armed her with a niche ability to work with not only troubled dogs but their passionate owners who refused to give up on their pets. After eventually achieving the title of lead trainer of the training department Erica was offered a teaching position with the same academy that she herself graduated from. She successfully graduated multiple classes of dog trainers through the program and took immense pride in the opportunity to play a pivotal role in the education and development of a new generation of dog trainers exciting new careers.

It is now at this new chapter of her ever growing passion and love for working with dogs that she looks forward to all the many wonderful things to come through Equilibrium Canine Academy.
