Fiona Sarten, K9 FUNdamentals

Coupled with my lifelong passion and love for animals, I became a certified dog trainer in 2016. My qualifications include: Canine Behaviour and Training Certificate (NZQA CAM-CBT) Pet First Aid (Pet First Aid & Training NZ) Puppy trainer (Pet Addict UK - online) Certificate in Companion Animals (Mahurangi Institute of Technology) Before starting K9 FUNdamentals, my career had been spent working in the corporate space. Most roles were at a senior level in change management, sales and continuous improvement. My most memorable and gratifying role was working with Starship Hospital as a Project Manager, redesigning the patient and staff flow for Pre and post-operation process. Working with staff, children and parents to deliver a great outcome was paramount. To find out more, check out our website https://www.k9fundamentals.co.nz
