Marlene lives in Brooklyn, N.Y. She has worked as a dog trainer since 1999. She has been featured on the television show "Pet Talk", has been mentioned in the Wall Street Journal, and has worked tirelessly in the rehabilitation of fearful, aggressive, and generally naughty dogs who live at the North Shore Animal League, also known as "The Largest No-Kill Adoption Agency in the World". Her methods of training span the scope of behavior modification, and she is always open to considering innovative and unconventional ways of getting a dog to complete any given desired request of its owner. She treats each dog and family as individual need systems, and therefore will make a specific protocol for each situation based on an evaluation. Her specialty and passion is the treatment of fearful, and fear-based aggression and the neutralization of emotional trauma in dogs.

Other than dogs;
She nurses an obsession for bargain hunting at the $.99 store and when she's not acting as therapist to her clients and their dogs, she is writing this weblog, while upholding her title as the ebay queen of america, among other things. The love of all dogs flows freely within her, even for the ones who want to bite her face off. You can find her at any dance party backyard barbecue, especially if someone brought their disco and James Brown cd library.
