Nantucket K9 Obedience - Private Dog Training Service - Plymouth, MA
I began my career at the MSPCA ' s Boston Animal Shelter in 1985. It was truly heartbreaking to me as a young adult to care for so many animals, young, healthy animals that were surrendered. To realize that most of these pets were abandoned, or given up between the age of 7-18 months, were because of "behavior issues". Sadly, not all of these loving dogs did not find homes, we just did NOT have the space. They were not bad dogs, they just needed patience and training. That is what stuck with me, I would do what I could to help educate people to better understand their dogs needs, in hopes of keeping them in their homes!
My Career with the MSPCA/Angell Medical Center continued in Boston for 13 more years, then on Nantucket for one final year, until I resigned to devote my time to training & education
I have been handling animals for over 30 years and training for over 20 years.
I provide comprehensive in home one to one training which includes:
Puppy Kindergarten- Introduction to Basic Obedience & manners i.e: Chewing, Housebreaking, feeding, sit, down etc.
Basic Obedience
Advance Obedience
I specialize in fear based-behaviors and aggression issues with behavior modification

All training is positive reinforcement-LIMA ONLY
