Walking Your Dog in the Woods

Elise McMahon has been working in animal behavior with both domestic and wild dogs since the early 1990s. She began working with domestic dogs in Philadelphia, PA where she worked at the Veterinary Hospital at the University of Pennsylvania in the Behavior Clinic. She held a position there for 2 years and during that time she co-developed a Puppy Problem Prevention Program with Lois Hall. During this time Elise was also studying Animal Behaviour and Learning at the University of Pennsylvania, as well as working with a local trainer, Steve Lindsay. Prior to moving to Massachusetts where she pursued her Ph.D. in Animal Behaviour, she worked as an animal behaviour consultant with her own private clients. Since 1996 Elise has been located in Montage, MA. After completing her fieldwork on Chilean foxes, she opened her training center and began providing both private and group classes, as well as individual evaluations and consultations.
