Biography

Meet Carlo!

​

Born and raised in Sicily, Italy, Carlo Cardella developed a deep connection with dogs and animals from an early age. Growing up, he and his older cousin, Leonardo, spent time rescuing and providing shelter to farm animals and stray dogs. Those experiences sparked a passion that would eventually shape his career.​ Eleven years ago, Carlo came to the United States with a clear ambition: to build a career working with dogs and helping people better understand them.

​

His journey began with education. Carlo graduated from Nassau Community College with a degree in liberal arts in 2019, followed by a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from SUNY Old Westbury in 2021. His background in psychology became an important foundation for understanding behavior, communication, learning, and the human-dog relationship.​ In 2022, Carlo decided to turn his passion into his profession and earned his Dog Trainer Certification through Animal Behavior College (ABC). After completing his studies and mentorship, he worked as a certified dog trainer with the same organization where he completed his hands-on training. In July 2023, Carlo joined the Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter, where he worked as a certified dog trainer until April 2026. Working with shelter and rescue dogs gave him valuable experience with a wide range of behaviors, personalities, and challenges—including helping dogs adjust after adoption and preparing them for successful lives with their new families.

 

In 2026, Carlo took a leap of faith and founded PET—Play Enjoy Train.

​

PET was created with a simple purpose: to help dog owners who are struggling with behavioral challenges rebuild communication, trust, and a healthy relationship with their dogs.

Carlo’s approach goes beyond simply teaching a dog commands. His programs are designed to give owners the knowledge, skills, and confidence to communicate effectively with their dogs, provide consistent guidance, and become a positive and reliable leader in their dog’s life.​ With experience ranging from basic obedience to advanced training, post-adoption behaviors, shelter and rescue dogs, leash pulling, jumping, resource guarding, and other behavioral challenges, Carlo brings a practical and relationship-focused approach to every training program.
