Profile: Boston WoofWorks! Teaching Life Lessons to Dogs and Their People
Graduating Animal Behavior College with honors in 2003 as a Certified Dog Trainer has given me unlimited opportunities. I’ve taught both group and private, basic through advanced classes at one of the North American pet superstores - five days a week, three to six classes a day of up to twelve puppies and dogs, for two years. If you are looking for a trainer with experience, I definitely qualify.
I wouldn’t dare say I’ve seen it all, but I’ve seen A LOT and nothing surprises me! I’ve learned some important things – that every dog and owner can learn and live together happily and there are NO BAD DOGS! Dogs are as different as you and me, and to account for these differences, training takes flexibility and an open minded approach. There is more than one way to train your puppy and I am always up for trying something new. Since I own WoofWorks!, I make the rules and I can approach each person, dog, and situation with the unique attention they deserve.
Due to personal reasons, I’ve not been able to fully focus on promoting my canine consulting business, Boston WoofWorks! I am, however, still happily accepting clients in both the Boston and Worcester areas and look forward to training as an escape from the chaos of my current situation. After working with me, I am confident that you will also look forward to the time you spend with your dog as both stress relieving and mood boosting. Having a pet is supposed to be fun, right?
I offer private in-home training for puppies and adult dogs at affordable prices. My methods are based on the positive reinforcement methods I mastered at Animal Behavior College and with other advanced study and certification.
Please contact me by e-mail or telephone for additional information.

My doggie day care business is located on 6+ acres at my residence. 3+ acres are fenced in, broken into 5 separate yards. Day care doggies get integrated into my pack and play all day. They go home smiling, happy, and covered in mud! I also work with dogs that have separation anxiety, fear and aggression issues, etc., and I love to be a facilitator in a dog’s rehabilitation. My pack really does all the work in helping a dog be a dog again. Too many humans have humanized their dogs to the point that the dogs have forgotten how to be dogs and how to have healthy interaction with other dogs. So, my guys straighten them right out and help them remember what it’s like to be in a pack again. (After all, they were born in a pack!) Before you know it, they’re running, romping and having lots of fun! Also, they become much more manageable, stable, balanced and peaceful at home, which makes for happier humans in the household.
