Owner | Dog Behavioral Therapist
CurrentI’ve loved animals my entire life. I would never use dog training techniques that weren’t good for your dog. After a successful corporate career followed by running my own design business, I began to search for that elusive dream of having a career that I’d truly love. An acquaintance suggested Bark Busters, a franchise, and the world’s largest, most successful dog training company. It was only after interviews with many professional dog trainers at Bark Busters and after talking to Bark Busters’ customers that I was convinced of how effective this pet training is. I was especially impressed with how reliably it worked at resolving so many behaviors that most people think are difficult if not impossible to change while still being dog friendly. I spent extensive time in dog behavior classes, passing exams and being coached by world renowned dog obedience and dog behavior experts in practical handling and dog training situations in order to become a certified dog behavioral therapist and dog trainer. In doing so, I’ve met that elusive goal of finding a career that I love and can feel good about. On a daily basis, I help forge healthier and happier relationships between dogs and their owners. I truly enjoy helping families change their dog’s behavior to fit in better with their families and to be well-mannered, happy and obedient companions. It’s very rewarding to know that I’ve helped so many dogs avoid having to be re-housed or, worse yet, euthanized. Icing on the cake is that dog owners usually thank me out the door for the knowledge and stress relief that I’ve given them. I can always tell that the dogs are relived to be better understood too!
