Fina Garcia

Fina Garcia, CPDT-KA, is the founder of Loyal Pawrenting, where she helps families build deeper, more compassionate relationships with their dogs through humane, science-backed coaching. With a background in instructional design and a passion for animal welfare, Fina brings a unique blend of education, empathy, and practical training skills to her work with pet parents, foster families, and shelter dogs. Her approach is rooted in understanding the whole dog—their emotions, environment, learning history, and individual needs—rather than focusing only on behavior modification. Through her work, Fina helps people see dogs as thinking, feeling family members who deserve curiosity, respect, and support. When she isn’t coaching families or volunteering with shelter dogs, Fina can be found spending time with her own dogs, Coco and Riley.
