Speaking, on site consulting for veterinary and shelter team, and on line education for all in Low Stress Handling

As a general practice veterinarian, with a special interest in animal behavior I saw the need to decrease or prevent stress in every animal in care. Collaborating with friends such as Rolan Tripp DVM, John Ciribassi DVM, ACVB, and the Sophia Yin DVM to name a few I started creating videos, blog posts, and presentations that were based on my practice experience - relevant to the real life challenges of a small town practice, and life. With the encouragement of these friends I created the Bella Behavior System for clinics and pet owners.

I now spend all my professional time presenting, consulting with clinics and shelters to create a low stress care experience, and creating educational content for pet owners and animal care professionals. Continued collaboration with you to build on this discipline of stress reduction in care is my passion. I look forward to the continued expansion of Low Stress animal care - it is changing the world for the better.

Thank you,
