My name is Jelena, and I’m a new author on the “LVR” series of blogs. You can find my author page here. As you can see from my list of pets — one dog, one cat, twelve rats, a hedgehog, a turtle, and a horse — I have a house full of critters! I’m a behavior nerd and love to teach new things to my pets using clicker training and other positive reinforcement methods. Here on PetLvr, I’ll be blogging about behavior and training, as well as pet nutrition, and sometimes other related topics.
Allow me to introduce some of my pets in a little more detail.
