With nearly three decades of experience in animal services, I've worked to make myself a knowledgeable resource on pet education and care. Through personal instruction, I work to support people to create strong relationships with their pet based on mutual love and respect.

I believe positive reinforcement along with a cooperative relationship make a vital foundation for happy pets and owners.
