A brief bio on you and your company:: I became a professional pet trainer in 2010 after training a working scent dog to help me with my graduate research on wolves and jackals in Central Asia. Working with my border collie, Mara, got me hooked on the science of behavior and how to help dogs with behavior problems and their people. Since then I have started working with cats as well enjoying working with other species such as miniature donkeys, goats, macaws, and chickens. I have more recently started teaching Dog Parkour and am now a certified Dog Parkour instructor. I also enjoy working with blind and deaf animals. I work with a lot of animals with serious fear and anxiety issues.

Name three books on dog training that you recommend to a client?: The Other End of the Leash by Patricia McConnell, Don't Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor, and Animals Make Us Human by Temple Grandin
