Yasemin was born in Hawai’i and raised in Florida. She spent most of her time outside, snorkeling, hiking, sailing, volunteering with local conservation societies and more. Her environment growing up nurtured a love for biology and wildlife, leading her to get a Bachelor’s of science in research biology and animal behavior. Following graduation, she spent a handful of years pursuing her passions.
She spent some time working in a vet clinic learning the basics of husbandry, common health issues, medication administration, preventative care and recovery. Her love of fast cars and sport dog training led her to travel to almost every state of the eastern seaboard, from New Hampshire back down to Florida. After 5 years of consistent education, practice and traveling, she’s back home in Florida with her family. She currently competes in international dog sports with her American Bulldog, Chapo, and has 2 puppies that are superstars in the making. Her time training and her time in school learning animal behavior has cultivated unique specialties that she is excited to share with her clients.
We work to consistently innovate and improve upon the way that dogs are trained. Dogwise Academy aims to simplify the training process for busy families.See all
