My career began at the MSPCA/Angell Medical Center in Boston in 1985. It was disturbing to me to see the number of loving dogs between the ages of 7-24 months that were surrendered to shelters as a direct result of owners not having education about puppy/dog development, behavior, and body language. It touched me so deeply, that my education to teach owners developed. I have since been training owners and their dogs, by providing classes and private lessons. My training technique is centered on positive reinforcement and pain-free training. I specialize in fear-based behavior and aggression.
