Whitney Duncan

I started Sit Play Stay in 2015 to offer the community a service with a professional background in the pet industry. I am a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College. I have trained and worked with dogs for over 15 years. While earning my professional Dog Training Certification (ABC14120) in 2007 from Animal Behavior College, I was a Veterinary Technician. This led me to a position with the Behavior Management Department at the Jacksonville Humane Society. I had the opportunity to evaluate and train hundreds of dogs (and cats!) needing extra help learning to behave in an appropriate manner preparing them for adoption and working with some in their adopted homes when needed.

I am a mentor trainer for students working on their internship portion of their dog training certification with Animal Behavior College and FETCH.

I am an AKC Evaluator for Canine Good Citizen, Urban dog CGC, AKC Puppy Star (requires puppies to be in a 6-week class), AKC Community Canine, All Level Tricks and Virtual Home Manners (puppies and adults)

I do private one on one training from puppy raising to behavior modification. When available I teach group classes. I also do pet sitting and daily dog walking.
