Shelley Smith is a Certified Master Dog Trainer with an educational background in Psychology. She has been training dogs and their owners for over 16 years. Shelley's training combines counter conditioning (replacing unwanted behavior with more appropriate behavior) and positive reinforcements rather than just the old method of reprimanding for bad behavior. Shelley keeps current in the dog world by attending seminars and workshops on dog training and behavior and by competing in obedience and dog sports with her own dogs. She currently lives with a German Shepherd and a cat. She has also provided a good home to Rescue Dogs.
