A Passion for Dog Training

I hold a Master of Science degree from The Ohio State University, where I focused on education and psychology. These fields gave have given me a solid foundation in understanding human and animal behavior. I spent 30 years teaching in the Columbus City Schools, a career I thoroughly enjoyed until I retired in 2015. Retirement, however, was just the beginning of a new chapter. It allowed me to fully dedicate myself to my passion for dog training and expand my services.

My journey into dog training began quite unexpectedly. I had an Irish Wolfhound who bit a jogger while we were at a shelter near a running trail. This incident led me to seek help from Dr. David Tuber, an OSU professor whose research and work in animal behavior were truly inspiring. His guidance and the classes I took in animal behavior at OSU, alongside my master’s coursework, sparked my deep interest in dog behavior and training.
