Born and raised in Minnesota. I traveled all over america volunteering and taking seminars at zoo's and animal rescue parks and agencies nationwide. I have worked with so many animals it is ridiculous.

I was trained as a dog/cat trainer from my parents (AKC certified trainers) and my veterinarians from all over.

I've been called the animal whisperer/communicator but that seems like a crock. Animals talk to anyone who will listen.

And behavior in the wild and behavior in domestic animals are very similiar with different ammenities thrown in to confuse a poor critter!

If you have animal problems I am happy to help, no charge. Pay it forward and donate to a charity that helps animals.
