Whattagooddog - Certified Professional Dog Trainer - Greenwich, CT

I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed, an evaluator for the AKC Canine Good Citizen program and AKC Trick Title evaluator, a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers, an active member of the APDT's Membership Task Force, a certificant of the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers, a Supporting Member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants, a member of the Pet Professional Guild, Hudson Valley Paws for a Cause, and the Old English Sheepdog Club of America.

A lifelong animal lover, I have been teaching pet training classes for more than 20 years at local training facilities in NY and CT. I was the Training Coordinator for the Good Dog Foundation for Fairchester (Fairfield and Westchester Counties) from 1999-2002, and am currently an Administrator of the Pet Therapy Program at Kids in Crisis in Cos Cob, CT. I teach Therapy Dog classes
with the goal of becoming registered with Pet Partners. I am currently registered with my dog, Ellie, as a Pet Partners Therapy Dog Team.

With a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree and numerous awards in Advertising Design, I put my creative talents to work in designing courses for all levels of my Agility for Fun classes. I also teach Good Manners and specialty classes, along with in-home private lessons.

I am committed to only positive, force-free, dog-friendly training methods, which create a bond of trust and foster teamwork. Training is all about relationships and clear, two-way communication between handler and dog. I believe that training should always be enjoyable for both human and animal alike, and I interject humor and fun into all my training.

I share my life with my husband, Will, and my son, James. We are guardians of two Old English Sheepdogs, Eleanor (Ellie-Belly) and Aero, and a rescued feral kitty named KitKat.
