About Us
Berrygrove Dog Training and Behavior
Gail S. Green has worked with many of the most innovative trainers across the country, and been involved in competition, sport and behavior problem solving with animals.
She has worked with group classes and one-to-one sessions through her own business, as well as the San Francisco SPCA's Dog Training Academy, various shelters and through phone as well as on-line counseling. She founded and volunteered for a prominent animal-assisted therapy group: TherapyPets, Inc.
A large variety of dogs, cats, birds and pocket pets have shared Gail's life. Each has offered hands-on experience that has helped to form her strong convictions and beliefs about how animals should be treated. Rescue work has been one of her passions. She has taught hundreds of volunteers of all ages in shelters and through school and community programs how they can assist in caring for homeless pets, as well as prevent pets from becoming homeless in the first place.
Gail has been companion animal training for over 40 years.
