Cost depends on how well the dog walks on a leash. For more information please call or text 660 334 1138. I was born and grew up in Michigan near Detroit. We relocated to Missouri when I was 13 years old. My passion for dogs and their behavior started when I was having trouble with bullies in my teens. My parents got me a puppy to help with the depression I was experiencing. His name was Sam and h
e loved me. He listened to me. He was my best friend. I knew he was listening by watching his body language. I was an Oncology Nurse for several years before I moved to dog training. A lot was changing in nursing at that time and it just wasn't what I loved about it anymore. I first started working at the local animal shelter as a volunteer. I worked mostly with dogs that were unsocialized and had other behavior problems. In a couple of years I became the shelter's Animal Care Specialist. I was in charge of the animals' mental and physical well being, as well as the shelter's adoption counselor. A couple of years later I accepted the General Manager post. I loved the job, but I wasn't able to spend as much time one-on-one with the dogs. That is why I decided to do private, in-home dog training, where I feel I can be of most help to dogs and their owners/guardians. My favorite dog related reading is The Other End of the Leash by Patricia B. McConnell, Ph.D. She is my favorite animal behaviorist. She also has published important booklets. I learned a lot about separation anxiety with I'll Be Home Soon and The Cautious Canine for dogs that have fear issues. Meghan Giacopelli -
