Julanne Rutten

Colleen Pelar helps pet professionals who worry they aren’t doing enough for the animals and people they serve – even as what they’re already doing feels exhausting and unsustainable. A Professional Certified Coach with nearly 30 years as a dog trainer and behavior consultant, she knows this particular exhaustion firsthand: the kind that comes from caring so much you forget to notice you’re running on empty. She’s the author of three books on human-animal bonds and has spoken at conferences nationwide, always focusing on the humans behind the animal care.
