Certified professional dog trainer Joan Mayer is passionate about helping people enrich their relationships with their pets and enjoys giving back to the community through Inquisitive Canine’s educational community programs.

The reality for many people today is that they just don’t have the time, money or energy to invest in extracurricular training and enrichment outside of the workplace. Our community outreach program is a great opportunity to help your members and employees grow while reinforcing your values as a learning organization.

Our educational outreach programs also encourage your members and staff to come together and bond over the common love of their pets. These seminars can help raise morale and build team spirit – after all, people who learn together, work better together!

Community Programs

The Inquisitive Canine offers educational seminars for corporate talks, learn-at-lunch workshops and community groups as well as for local businesses in the Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles areas.

If you are interested in having Joan Mayer speak at your company, organization or community group, please call 805-650-8500 or email Joan directly.
