| | | Interview with KPA Faculty Member Shelly Brouwer | | | Q: Tell us about the first animal you trained. A: Her name was Sadie and she was a 1-year-old chow/retriever mix. I adopted her in my early 20s. I didn't tell my parents at first because I knew they wouldn't approve (ultimately, they loved Sadie!). Sadie and I learned a lot together; I am forever grateful to her and for that impactful and rewarding relationship. We adored each other. Sadie was also my brilliant KPA dog—at age 12! Q: Was there a particular dog/animal in your life that was your most important teacher?
Sadie! There were also a couple of dolphins that taught me a lot. One of them was named Josephine and the other was Theresa. They were older dolphins (each living to their 50s), and knew much more than me. So I had to listen and follow their leads. Working together is the only way to get great things accomplished.
