Trainer Jeannie, Education Director & Head Trainer
Trainer Jeannie, BA, MA, CPDT-KA has a vibrant and rich educational
background, ranging from working to pet dog training and canine care to
healthy living, fitness and personal growth. She has lived off and on in
New York City for a number years, working in the health and canine
industry and has been integrating her special background to provide a
unique education for dogs and their owners. She hopes that you will meet
her at the Learning Center to unleash your dog's health and happiness, and
possibly your own. She can recommend all the best restaurants and shops
and places to go for the loving dog owner looking to find his or her inner
Zen or indulge in healthy-minded courses or activities.
Jeannie grew up in a small town, raising and caring for a wide variety of
animals, and discovered her love of dogs at a very young age. Her personal
dogs have appeared in film, TV and charity fundraisers, and she actively
searches for canine talent potential for All Tame Animals Agency. She has
traveled extensively and has lived in Paris, Barcelona, Berlin and
Switzerland. She is proficient in French, German, and knows some Spanish
and Japanese. She is also a musician and artist, and talented composer.
But wherever she has been, there has always been a furry four-legged
friend by her side. Her favorite saying is that dogs are "love beyond
words" and dog training is an "art of that love." When the skill, craft,
science and humanity come together, a beautiful and extraordinary human
and canine bond can be achieved, so that owners and their dogs can live
healthy, happy and well-balanced lives together.
Jeannie is a honors graduate of Dartmouth College in NH, and she received
a masters at Brown University. In keeping up with the spirit and values of
liberal arts education, she attended a variety of schools throughout the
US and Europe to expand her knowledge one what she describes as, "a
genuine interest in global culture and diversity. She likes to keep her
mind open without judgment and listen deeply to what people have to
share." Her professional certifications include other interests, and as a
busy and versatile entrepreneur, she still holds dear to her heart the
training and development of her personal dogs and dogs in special needs.
In New York, for example, Jeannie spends her free time working alongside a
veteran animal behaviorist, Polly Hanson, who is well-known for her gentle,
effective and in-depth work with dogs in Long Island. Currently Jeannie
volunteers her free time with Ms. Hanson to provide free dog trainings and
career change opportunities to guide dogs or puppies who have been
released from guide dog schooling.
