I am very pleased to share that I have accepted a full-time behavior position at the MSPCA here in Massachusetts! 🐶🐱
With this change in role comes changes for Rover Rehab - my books are currently closed to new clients, but will open periodically with limited-availability spots for 1:1 virtual clients. I will be specifically focused on supporting dogs who struggle with fear, anxiety, and reactivity, especially those who we suspect may have underlying health factors impacting their behavior. All of these limited programs will include a customized training and enrichment plan, a complete Dynamic Dog gait and posture assessment, and collaboration with your veterinary team to help you and your dog access the care that will be most impactful!
If you would like to be added to the waitlist for those spots, the link for that is in my b i o.
For my current clients, check your inbox later today for details on how this change might impact your training programs that are in progress (the only real change is the timing of my availability for training sessions).
I will still be offering my monthly membership, Make It Click, as well as periodic on-demand and group classes and free/low-cost downloadable resources on my website.
I am so very grateful that Rover Rehab has been my full-time job for the last 6 years, and I look forward to its new iteration as I shift into more directly supporting shelter pets. Thank you all for being here! 💜

What a privilege it was to love you.
It's been one whole month since I said goodbye to you and it still doesn't feel real. I still catch myself looking for you in every room I walk into, swearing I could hear your tippy-tappy feet and your sweet little sighs. I make my breakfast and you aren't here to share eggs with. I turn around and you aren't at my feet waiting to see where we're going next. I open a crinkly bag and you don't appear to ask if it's a snack for you, or rest your chin on my leg to look up at me with those big brown eyes.
I miss your soft ears, and your sweet smile, and your happy greetings, and the goofy faces you made as you rolled in the grass or frolicked in the snow. I'm unmoored without you here with me, because that's where you were for over 11 years.
I'm sorry that we couldn't have more time together, but I'm so grateful for what we had. Thank you for your joy, your curiosity, your bravery, and your sweet, silly heart. You made me the best version of myself and I feel so lucky to have been yours. I love you, I love you, I love you forever my Molly Wolly, my baby bear, my goober girl. Say hi to Bucky for me 💜
Walking and moving at a pace that is comfortable for her body!
Sniffing and exploring!
Rolling in weird smells!
Chewing and digging and shredding!
Being able to do these things safely, and where she could make choices that would be honored, has led to more curiosity, more joy, more silly moments, more resilience, and more confidence. Getting to see her blossom has been the greatest gift 💜
Using a longer leash has been an integral component of providing both safety and freedom for my dog. All of my leashes are from, my favorite woman-owned small business that makes biothane leashes, collars, and accessories. My personal favorite are the hands-free sport long lines, which come with an autolocking carabiner that have saved Molly from unclipping herself during particularly enthusiastic grass rolls on many an occasion!

🔹Your dog feeling safe
🔹Your dog being free from pain and discomfort
🔹Your dog being able to do Dog Things
🔹Your dog letting their silly side show
🔹You feeling comfortable and confident interacting with your dog
🔹You having the skills and knowledge to help your dog in situations where they need support
🔹You and your dog having the skills, knowledge, and relationship to live a happy, safe, and joyful life together
If certain "obedience" skills come along for the ride because they are functional for living a safe life with your dog then that's great, but obedience doesn't need to be (and in my opinion, shouldn't be) the main focus of training and life with dogs. Safety, joy, autonomy, confidence, and comfort are.

Welfare Benefits: If a behavior is unsafe for our dogs, for humans, or for other animals, then we have an ethical responsibility to put management systems in place to prevent that behavior from happening. The same goes for behaviors that are causing fear, anxiety, or other emotional welfare concerns.
Learning Benefits: The more our dogs practice things that we would rather they wouldn't, the more we risk that behavior popping up more often. And if that behavior is motivated by or causing stress it can have a profound negative impact on our learners. Using management often means reducing stress AND making preferred behaviors more likely, which puts us in a better position to introduce new learning.
Managing the environment could look like using baby gates to prevent dogs from darting out the door or to separate multiple dogs while they eat. It could look like using a long line if it is not currently safe for them to be off leash. One of my personal favorite environmental management options is using pretty window film to reduce my dog’s view of outdoor stressors.
There are also lots of ways you can use training skills to assist with management - treat scatters to encourage your dog to sniff behind a parked car while a dog passes by on the other side of the street, treat magnets in your hand to move your dog away from a trigger before they get stressed, cueing a behavior like “paws up” to station your dog in a safe location for a moment, and more
For a great primer on management and how it can impact behavior, I recommend the book Manage It! Hacks for Improving Your Dog's Behavior from!

If your dog is moving quickly because they are trying to get to smells or other interesting things in the environment, or because their natural pace of movement just happens to be faster than your human one, it often results in tension on the leash. By giving them a few extra feet of leash, they are better able to move naturally and comfortably - they can reach a spot with lots of interesting sniffs without needing to pull, and we can then catch up a few steps behind as they gather all of their important news from the neighborhood. I use a hands-free convertible 8 or 10-foot leash for my neighborhood walks now, and it allows my dog to move at a pace that is more comfortable for her while still being a manageable amount of leash for me to handle. If we encounter a busier area, I can reel in the leash to closer to a 6-foot length and use our leash walking skills to navigate around people or other dogs.
If you have access to green spaces like parks, or quiet open areas like office parks or schools on the weekend, using a long line leash can be a great way to give your dog access to exploring and moving while still having the safety of being on leash. My go-to is a 15 or 20-foot biothane long line - easy to clean, brightly colored so that others can see them from a distance, and very strong.
All of my favorite leashes come from, a woman-owned small business in California! They not only sell excellent leashes and other biothane accessories, but are also excellent advocates for ethical, positive-reinforcement training and chances for dogs to meet their needs.

I’ll be back tomorrow with the final part of this mini-series!
#RoverRehabDogTraining #DogTraining #DogBehavior #PositiveReinforcement #ForceFree
First up is not only getting a thorough vet check, but actively helping clients identify and investigate potential pain or other underlying health concerns. Pain and discomfort influence both behavior and learning, as well as impacting the general well-being of our canine companions.
While some signs of pain are fairly obvious (limping, acute injuries, etc.), others are much more subtle and may not be as well known. Part of my job as a behavior consultant is to look at the whole dog - what do their typical behaviors and habits tell us about their physical comfort? Do they display movement patterns or postures that are indicative of potential discomfort?
I have been learning even more about this as I am very close to completing the Dynamic Dog Practitioner program, and I am excited to bring this expanded knowledge to my clients and to you lovely folks here on the internet!
Tune in tomorrow for Part 2 of this mini-series!
#RoverRehabDogTraining #DogTraining #DogBehavior #PositiveReinforcement #ForceFree
💜 My dog approaching life with joy instead of fear, and with curiosity instead of concern
💜 Seeing how much her personality and behavior blossomed once I ditched using punishment in training
💜 Observing how much the way she moves her body and how she engages with the world improves when she physically feels better
💜 Getting to help other dog guardians see this in their dogs too
#RoverRehabDogTraining #DogTraining #DogBehavior #PositiveReinforcement #ForceFree
I am an Aries, ISFJ personality type, and Enneagram 2, which resonates with me as I am passionate about kindness and advocating for the things I care about. My background prior to dog training was in educational psychology and movement therapy so I enjoy coaching humans as well as working with dogs!
I have to start my day with coffee or else my ability to function in conversation is compromised. My hobbies outside of dog stuff include knitting, reading fantasy/romantasy and historical fiction, traveling with my partner, playing DnD, watching Dimension 20, and caring for my many houseplants. I have 14 tattoos, four of which are animal-related and one that is the basis for my business logo (Molly’s paw print!).
I have a special love for nervous and shy dogs and helping them blossom into more confident creatures who feel safe expressing themselves and exploring the world. I believe that being a dog guardian is about more than just having a dog who listens to you and that honoring their autonomy by offering choices and agency is vital.
I specialize in training for nervous, anxious, and reactive dogs through both virtual training (my specialty, available everywhere) and in-person training (north of Boston, MA). I also run virtual group classes, a monthly membership for dog guardians called Make It Click, and love sharing resources like free training handouts and Ebooks.
So hello, welcome, I'm happy to have you here!
