Fun loving, dog owner and trainer. Retirement from tech career allowed me to go into dog training that has interested me since the 80s. From the Midwest, lived on East Coast and in the South, but love California and have enjoyed it for 18 years. Music has been part of my life since childhood...singing, keyboard/piano, and flute...and listening to it! California afforded opportunity to learn how to sail and I love it...as long as it's a cruise and not a race. Outdoor activities like hiking, swimming, and star gazing...and sunsets and sunrises are other interests. I enjoy cooking and entertaining.
I have had dogs my entire adult life, and my current dog is a beautiful 4YO English Cocker Spaniel names Mary. She is so well behaved and affectionate...everybody loves her, and she is game for about anything.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music...well almost everything, except most rap and hip hop. Movie favs run the gammut from musicals, mysteries, scifi, romance, comedies, & documentaries.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailed 14 islands in Aegean Sea in 18 days.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy sharing my knowledge of dog behavior in order to help dogs have a better life and more fun. I like to learn about new methods.
Cooking: Trying new recipes for meals and dishes are always fun to share with friends.
