I’m a positive dog trainer and behavior expert with over 40 years of experience helping people navigate life with their dogs—from basic cues to anxiety, reactivity, and aggression. I’ve written more than a dozen books, including Puppies for Dummies and Dog Anxiety for Dummies. My approach is empathetic, force-free and fun. I listen closely and help you build calm, connected routines that work in the real world.
