ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sharon Elber - Professional Dog Trainer, BA Mathematics, MA Science and Technology
Highlights
Sharon has been a dog lover her entire life and has spent much of the last 20 years developing her expertise working with her own dogs Tango Bango and Fuzzy Beans. She has also worked as a professional dog trainer (she prefers to think of it as training people to communicate with their dogs effectively), as an assistant manager at a doggy daycare facility, and assistant trainer on a Flyball team.
Sharon received her M.S. in Science and Technology Studies from Virginia Tech in 2008. Her academic background enables her to weed through the latest research to provide up-to-date and accurate analysis of the latest in pet health, behaviour, training and products.
Sharon advocates the use of positive reinforcement techniques, such as clicker training, to help dogs learn appropriate behaviour and build their confidence. She also believes in providing strong leadership to our canine companions by setting firm boundaries and learning to enforce them consistently and humanely.
