Community &
Rescue Work

My training work goes beyond private lessons, from helping dogs at rescue adoption events to volunteering with and training for many shelters and rescues.

SHELTER & RESCUE TRAINING

Shelter & Rescue Dog Training on Long Island

At All Island K9 Services, I work with rescue dogs and the people welcoming them home. I volunteer with Kent Animal Shelter, Babylon Animal Shelter, North Fork Animal Welfare League, Brookhaven Animal Shelter, and Paws and Hooves Animal Rescue, where I help both dogs and horses. My separate volunteer work with Warrior Ranch Foundation focuses on horses.

Adopting or fostering a dog can bring questions you didn’t expect. I offer patient, customized training to help your new companion build confidence, learn everyday skills, and settle into life with you.

ADOPTION STORY

From Kringle to Chance

Kringle was struggling at the Town of Brookhaven Animal Shelter. I adopted him and renamed him Chance, because I wanted to give him a chance and see if I could help him. Watch how far he's come.

SHELTER VOLUNTEERING

Helping Trix Get Ready for Home

This is Trix at the Town of Brookhaven Animal Shelter. I volunteer there to help shelter dogs build confidence and good manners so they're ready for a home. Volunteers make a real change for these dogs, and even a few hours helps.
