Fresh Start Pet Coaching

My name is Stephanie Russell and I am the founder and owner of Fresh Start Pet Coaching. For those of you have been here before you may notice some changes to the site (I deleted everything and decided to start over). To the rest of you, welcome and I hope you enjoy reading what is to come.

I am an animal behaviorist. I provide people with solutions to their pet problems. It’s not just my career path, it is my passion. It is who I am. I started working professionally with animals in 2003 and I completed a B.S. in Animal Behavior from Southwestern University in 2007 . I am currently applying to graduate schools to obtain a PhD in Behavioral Neuroscience so keep your fingers crossed for me.

This blog is a to be diary of my behavior work with animals as well as my career path as an animal behaviorist. I am currently working mostly with dogs, I also work with cats, and I hope to someday work with horses when I have the proper facilities. Sometimes the animals I talk about are my own, sometimes they are my clients, and sometimes they are animals that come to me from local rescue groups. My hope is to record my own journey as an animal behaviorist and to share the stories of the animals that I work with in the hope of providing a resource to owners of pets with similar problems. Enjoy!
