Martina Best

Program Assistant

With a passion for animal welfare, Martina Best specializes in trauma-informed, positive reinforcement training for dogs and horses.

As the founder of Amazing Greys, she has spent 13 years rescuing, rehabilitating, and re-homing ex-racing greyhounds, including her loyal companion Bear, a greyhound she’s had for 10 years.

In addition to her work with greyhounds, Martina shares her life with two horses—Lexie, an 8-year-old Brumby mare rescued from Kosciuszko National Park, and Matey, a 16-year-old ex-racehorse.

A lifelong learner, Martina is deeply passionate about behaviour modification and learning theory. She has studied applied behaviour analysis with Dr. Susan Friedman and clicker training at the Karen Pryor Academy with Ken Ramirez.
