About Me

Originally from the UK, I now live in Sarasota, Florida, and spend part of my summers on Long Island, NY. 

I’ve worked with dogs since 1997 and have been professionally training since 2007, teaching private lessons and group classes for the Town of Southold Recreation Department LI NY. 

I have extensive experience with behavioral issues such as reactivity, as well as teaching dogs and puppies life skills, manners, and obedience. I’m also an advocate for homeless pets, supporting rescues with behavior evaluations, advice, and matchmaking.

For many years, I volunteered as the trainer and evaluator for the North Fork Welfare League , where I also served on the Board of Directors and as President. 

I continue to stay current in the field by attending workshops, seminars, and training with top professionals from around the world.
