Have studied animal behavior for over 25 years, both in the field and academically.

Our program eliminated euthanasia of adoptable dogs, achieving the San Diego Animal Welfare Coalition's (SDAWC) initiative of Getting to Zero (G20). Went on to successfully run play groups of multiple breeds and sizes. Specialized in dog to dog intros and matching beneficial play styles. Have taught private lessons, classes, and workshops. ​

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

When given the choice, be kind. And, you always have the choice in front of you. To treat your pet as you would like to be treated.
