I am a behaviorist and trainer with over seven years of experience and a four year degree in Animal Behavior. I work with dogs having various behavior problems including aggression and anxiety. These dogs include family pets, rescued animals, and service companions. After an evaluation of the animal, as well as an interview with the owner, I design an individualized behavior program.

My objective is to provide pet owners with the knowledge they need in order to avoid feelings of frustration. The human-canine bond is enhanced through patience, dedication, and training. It's more than cut and dry obedience, it's a relationship built on trust and understanding.

I believe in not only teaching our animals to listen, but how to think through implementing natural communication techniques into daily routines. This involves using body language, vocal tones, and positive reinforcement.

I attended Bucknell University and majored in Animal Behavior focusing on behavioral research. My behavioral research culminated in a manuscript which I coauthored. It is published in the internationally renowned Animal Behaviour Journal. In addition to obedience training and behavior modification I also professionally lecture. I have given presentations to animal rescue leagues, veterinarian offices, humane societies, and special interest clubs.
