Welcome to ”Dog Training Bytes” – the show where canine professionals share their key takeaways, big a-ha moments, and hardest lessons learned from working with dogs. 

On today’s episode, on the Season 3 Premier, Mattison is speaking with Sharon Vincuilla! 

 

Sharon Vincuilla is the founder of Human Canine Collaborative, where she combines her expertise as a licensed Occupational Therapist, Co-Regulation Coach, and Dog Behavior Consultant to create transformative support for neurodivergent individuals and their canine companions. Sharon holds a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy, with advanced clinical training in community-based mental health, and is licensed to practice in California.

Her work includes extensive experience in dog bite prevention and behavioral rehabilitation, bringing a compassionate, science-backed approach to each unique dog and handler.
