Brief Bio
I love to help humans and dogs live more happily together. While I work with all ages, my specialty is coaching folks through puppyhood -- either through local private training sessions, or my twice-weekly outdoor PuppyPALS group play sessions. I do Zooms with people all over who find themselves overwhelmed by their new puppy! My puppy guide, Welcoming Your Puppy from Planet Dog, is a LEGS-y, empathetic approach designed to bring the joy back into puppyhood for both humans and pups! Fellow LFDM Helen St. Pierre and I also wrote a LEGS-y book called OLD DOG, NEW DOG: Supporting Your Aging Best Friend and Welcoming A New One. (That one has an intro by Kim Brophey!)
