Her father and grandmother fueled her love of animals and dogs in particular. They taught Mimi the importance of building trust and investing time in training. Early on, she learned that the reward is a well-mannered dog AND unconditional love!

After a career spanning several decades as a Human Resources executive, Mimi began the journey of preparing her puppy, Sweet Basil, an American Bullmastiff, for therapy dog certification. It was during this journey that she also began to train, coach, and mentor other dog owners to effectively develop dogs with good manners.

Puppies are her passion! Mimi is highly regarded by her peers and students as a training partner who provides both the coaching and skills necessary to develop a dog with good manners
