Getting To Know Me
A brief glimpse into my personal and professional experiences.
My goal is to help owners and others speak dog to reach their goals and to create a safer environment for both animals and their human companions.
I am a Certified Behavior Consultant.
What does that mean exactly? In technical terms, this means that I apply biological knowledge with observation and data of individual dogs to help owners work through their behavioral quandaries. This is a method that combines both a subjective and objective approach to decipher why certain behaviors are exhibited in individual animals, and using that information for the betterment of the canine-human relationship.
In more simple terms – I help owners and other professionals figure out why certain behaviors occur and help develop treatment plans to alleviate stress leading to undesirable behaviors in canine companions.
