Addressing dog and cat behavior issues in the Central New York area.


A bit about me…

My background in animal behavior began with various volunteer activities at local shelters and rescue
leagues. My family always had pets in our home, and my interest in behavior, both animal and human, led me to earn a doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University. I completed specialized training in animal behavior consulting with Companion Animal Behavior, located in the Washington, D.C. area. After moving to central New York, I established my animal behavior consulting business, Wallis Consulting, LLC, with the goals of helping pets and their families resolve behavior concerns, minimize the need for animals to be euthanized or relinquished to shelters due to poor behavior, and educate the public on pet behavior.

I live in Baldwinsville, New York with my husband, and we share our home with three dogs and two cats, all rescued pets, with whom I have worked extensivel
y to address various behavioral issues. I am certified by the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (www.iaabc.org), where I am an active member, attending conferences and workshops related to animal behavior, providing mentoring for aspiring animal care professionals, and guiding member tutorials.  I also serve as a board member for Sunshine Friends, a volunteer organization providing animal assisted activities and therapy (www.sunshinefriends.org).
