For over 45 years, I have found positive reinforcement to be the most successful and enjoyable way to communicate and work with animals. I am pleased to share my knowledge of animals, their behaviors, and positive-based behavior modification techniques. I offer private, group classes, barn calls, workshops, and evaluations.
