I have more than 30 years of experience teaching and rehabilitating hundreds of companion animals and companion parrots, including horses, dogs, cats, primates, and more. I provide consultation to individuals, animal rescue organizations, animal shelters, and sanctuaries worldwide. I utilize the scientific system of Applied Behavior Analysis, force-free, and fear-free, to teach animals and to emotionally rehabilitate PTSD animal trauma victims who would otherwise be surrendered, re-homed, and/or euthanized due to behavior issues.
I founded the first avian welfare non-profit organization in the world in 1989. My organization provided information about the plight of captive parrots, parrot husbandry, and parrot behavior.
I also co-founded a second non-profit organization to teach humane education to school children and adults, and to inspire compassion for all species of animals. I hold a special place in my heart for the psittacine species because I believe they are the most misunderstood species that people keep as pets. Misunderstanding animal behavior is a primary reason many animals are surrendered, intentionally and unintentionally abused, neglected, and/or euthanized. Those statistics inspired me to become an animal behavior consultant.
