Martha regularly attends seminars on canine behavior and
the newest training techniques.
Martha has lectured nationally for the

Dealing with Aggressive Dogs and
Understanding Canine Behavior. She has assisted
Northeast Utilities, CNG and several Northeast cable
companies by educating their employees on how to
pro-actively protect themselves from aggressive dogs
and manage potentially dangerous canine situations.
In the aftermath of hurricanes Katrina and Rita,
Martha's dedication to animal welfare compelled her
to volunteer her time and services. Martha learned about
a shelter which was over capacity with dogs rescued from
Hurricane Katrina. This shelter was subsequently
severely impacted by Hurricane Rita. She collected
donated supplies and traveled to the Lake Charles area
of Louisiana where, for three weeks, she worked side by
side with local staff to help manage the many
displaced pets.
She is a proud
member of the Hartford Obedience Training Club, the
Association of Pet Dog Trainers and is an AKC approved
Canine Good Citizen Evaluator.
Martha currently shares her life with
Destiny a 12 year
old German Shepherd Dog and
Journey a 4 year old
Catahoula Leopard Dog from
Louisiana.
