I currently work as an agility and pet
dog instructor. In 2002, I graduated from the American Institute For
Animal Science with a degree in Canine Behavior Counseling and established
my own business, A Better Canine. I became a Certified Professional
Dog Trainer through the Certification Council for Pet Dog Trainers
in 2003, and in 2006, I completed a Life Coach certification program
through the Spencer Institute, specializing in coaching the canine
performance athlete.
I am a member of the Association for Pet Dog
Trainers and have been teaching classes at
Tails-U-Win! in Manchester,CT
since 2000 and at
It'sPAWSible Dog Training Center in
Westhampton, MA sice 2008. My agility classes emphasize having
a solid foundation of control and focus as well as maximizing the
use of reinforcement. I am an AKC Canine Good Citizenship evaluator
and I conduct many of the testing sessions at
Tails-U-Win! I took
my first agility class in 1999 and since then, it has become my passion.
I am currently competing in agility with the top 2 whippets in
the country. Keeping the motivation high is the key to our success.
"When we are motivated by goals that have deep meaning, by dreams that need completion, by pure love that needs expressing, then we truly live life."
