History
After bringing my two shelter adoptee puppies to training classes and becoming a humane education volunteer at Lollypop Farm I spent about five years assisting Bob Minchella in Rochester, NY (averaging 6-10 hours a week - 60+ dogs with owners per week - all ages, sizes, and temperaments). I substitute taught Basic, Puppy and Advanced 1. I ran Canine Good Citizen classes and substituted at Dogs At Play doggy daycare. When we moved to the Ithaca/Cortland area for family reasons, in the summer of 2011, and I wanted to keep learning and keep using what I've learned to help dogs and owners succeed so I started the business. Since moving, I volunteer weekly at a local shelter and at a local rescue. I have been working with clients one-on-one, in family groups, and small groups to educate owners, teach canines good manners, and help resolve issues.
