I am an honors graduate and Mentor Trainer for Animal Behavior College, a member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, The Pet Professional Guild, a supporting member of the International Association of Behavioral Consultants, and an AKC Canine Good Citizen Instructor/Evaluator. I worked for Animal Assisted Therapy Services (AaTs) in therapeutic settings with mentally and emotionally disabled children, teenagers, and adults. I have partnered with AaTs to board and train Emotional Support Animals, former AATs Board Member and Canine Committee Co-Chair. I use force-free training to teach obedience cues, eliminate behavior issues, and build trusting bonds between owners and their pets.
