I love animals. I am fascinated by their behavior, intrigued by their instinctual responses, attracted to their beauty, and engaged by the glimpses they give me of a whole range of emotions that many people cannot see. I bring this love, respect, and care to all of the animals I work with, big and small. I have been working with animals all my life. I’ve had the privilege to get to see all kinds of animals up close--to care for them, to train them, to study them, to educate about them, to rescue them, and to work and live alongside them in three different countries: United States, South Africa, and Guatemala. My experience includes care for dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, marine animals, cheetahs, lemurs, meerkats, hippos, crocodiles, snakes, and many other animals. I will share this love, joy, and respect with your dog or other pet. I am a professional Obedience Trainer, certified by Highland Canine Training Center in Harmony, NC. I’ve also worked with animals at the New England Aquarium, Museum of Science, Canga Wildlife Ranch, Animal AWARE in Guatemala, Luxe Pet Resort, and Children’s Equitation Center. I bring positive training approaches, knowledge about animals, and, most important--individual attention--to every animal I work with. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
