November 1st 2009: Please note, effective November 1st, 2009 until March 2010, I will be working a limited schedule. Due to my current case load and accompanying time commitments, working with new clients will be limited to puppy and training issues. If you are seeking help for a dog that has exhibited aggressive or compulsive behavior or has separation anxiety, please email me and I will refer you to other resources.

Real life resume and dog talent
Cerena's dogs are known for their superlative behavior, excellent character and are her true resume’. Her current Mariah and Little Guy can be viewed on youtube
Mariah at 12.5 years and post 2 spine surgeries is retired and Little Guy ihe youngster is now the pro. He has done film and print work very successfully and is available for local jobs. Little Guy does agility, canine freestyle, knows too many tricks to count and so much more. He truly is a crowd pleaser wherever he goes. Little Guy loves to have fun, but is an incredible worker - film crews love him. Little Guy can look scruffy but cleans up well with a trim or just a brushing. He also has a great story.
For fundraisers, on several occasions, LG has been part of the entertainment including passing out collateral, collecting tickets and his pick pocketing for donations is hugely popular!
Please also check out Little Guy's Doritos Brand Crash the Superbowl Ad contest entry and if you like it, please pass it on. Note that we found out about the contest only hours before the deadline and didn't even have enough daylight to get the shots we wanted. But we got it done and thanks to the amazing Little Guy, the ad is pretty darn cute! Note that it seems to work best to copy and paste the url and then after the countdown and the TV screen has appeared click the hard to see "skip Intro" button on the lower right corner of the screen. http://www.crashthesuperbowl.com/#/video/5522
