I have been training dogs professionally since 1996, but in 2002 decided to leave my position at the JCC to create the Rochester Canine Academy.
I offer a unique perspective into a dog's mind. Finding that by meeting our dog's needs as a dog, we can be much more successful in modifying and enhancing desirable behavior.
Private Lessons, Live-In Residential Training Programs and Puppy Management are offered to help owners reach their dog training goals
