Navigating Social Media with Advocate Shalina Seifert
Shalina works as a dog trainer in Toronto, Canada. After completing the intensive
internship program at When Hounds Fly, she then earned her CPDT-KA certification.
Although her love of dogs began in childhood, her passion for science and psychology was born in university. After graduating with her degree in Psychology, she began to dive into animal psychology and learning theory. Keeping up with the latest “dog science” is what drives her to improve to become as effective and humane as possible.
After spending some time on dog training social media, it became apparent to her how critical it was to begin tackling some of the misinformation on Instagram and TikTok. She loves creating educational content on social media to help pet parents navigate the dog training world. Online advocacy work will continue to be a huge priority for her.

Five Freedoms of Animal Welfare:
These Five Freedoms are globally recognized as the gold standard in animal welfare, encompassing both the mental and physical well-being of animals; they include:
1. freedom from hunger and thirst
2. freedom from discomfort
3. freedom from pain, injury, and disease
4. freedom to express normal and natural behavior (e.g. accommodating for a chicken’s instinct to roost)
5. freedom from fear and distress.
