Roach the Pet Coach

Rochelle M Guardado Certified Cat behavior Consultant/ Certified Professional Dog Trainer

​I provide help to pet guardians who need advice and training for their dogs or cats. With Over 25 years experience in pet training, I believe in using methods that do not intimidate, frighten, or coerce you or your pet. My approach is to consider both the pet's & human's needs. I am committed to utilize the least inhibitive, functionally effective training approaches for all.

About Me

Committed to continuing education.

I learned to train my own pets in the 1980's. In 1999, I began my professional career in pet care & training and have been learning continuously since. Sadly, the pet training industry is an unregulated one which means anyone can call themselves a trainer, a "behaviorist", or "pet psychologist". I have the experience, certifications, and continuing education to back up my knowledge. As one of the few certified cat behavior consultants in California, my specialty is working with caregivers who are struggling with multi-species behavior issues with a focus on feline behavior issues.  I am the Animal Training Manager at Pasadena Humane and have over two decades experience educating people about their pets. My passion is to promote evidence based pet knowledge and to debunk persistent pet training myths that may harm the relationship between you and your pets.
