Meet your PUP Trainer

Hey there! I’m Roseanna Burnam, and I’ve been helping dogs—and their humans—around Dallas-Fort Worth since 2015. As a proud member of the DFW Positive Dog Trainers Network, I stick to humane, science-backed methods only. My puppy development, obedience, and behavior-modification sessions lean on positive reinforcement and the “least-intrusive” approach, so your furry family member learns through trust, not fear.

I graduated from Texas A&M–Commerce in 2014 with a bachelor’s in elementary education, which means clear communication with both adults and kids is baked into every lesson. No shock collars, prong collars, or punishment—just predictable, reward-based training that builds confidence and a harmonious home.

PUPS Approach

I help pet parents put their pups on a happy, healthy road to learning, minus the stress and second-guessing.

Back in my student-teaching days, I discovered my favorite classroom had paws instead of desks. Swapping lesson plans for leashes felt natural, so I mixed my education background with a lifelong love of dogs and dove headfirst into behavior science—no looking back.

It wasn't until I adopted my first Siberian Husky, Asia, that I truly dove into the world of dog behavior. Asia taught me that patience outpaces muscle every time. With her—and a few brilliant local mentors—showing the way, I locked onto modern, reward-based training that keeps tails wagging across North Texas.

Here’s what fuels the PUPS Approach:

• Positive reinforcement—be a snack dealer, not a pack leader.

• Understanding body language—spot the whispers before they turn into shouts.

• Practical communication—teach humans and dogs a common language they enjoy using.

• Solutions, not intimidation—no dominance, no prong collars, no fear. Ever.
