Behaviour Consultant

Beth has been training dogs and doing behavioral work for 20 yrs. She grew up on a quarter horse farm in Wisconsin, showing quarter horses in various events including: Barrel racing, western pleasure and hunter under saddle. Growing up, her dad trained field trial labs using ecollars and punishment. She remembers watching wiggly, happy high drive dogs come out to work and then return to their kennels, shut down and terrified…she knew in her soul that there had to be a better way. She originally wanted to be a vet, but blood makes her a bit squeamish. So, much to her parents’ dismay, she changed tracks and decided to get a masters degree in Animal Behavior, but because her parents felt that was essentially under-water basket weaving, she also got an MBA. When she graduated UW- Madison, she spent the first few years buildingher skills in basic manners and obedience, titling her Rottweiler in obedience getting his Companion Dog Excellent.

She began behavior work in 2006, specializing in the reactive dog. Since then she has continued her education and honing her approach, using only science-based methods that truly get results. She specializes in the rescue dog, because they often come to new families holding trauma and PTSD that is often misunderstood.

Beth lives in Downtown Dallas with her husband, Richard, and 5 pups. She also supports various local and national rescues.
