Gail Fisher's 30 year background in canine vocation covers virtually all aspects of the field–breeding, showing, competitive obedience and agility, and training dogs from household pets to problem solving to training service dogs. In 1978, Gail developed the first University program for dog trainers and instructors in the world, a two-year certificate course, which she taught at the University of New Hampshire. She founded and is President of All Dogs Gym, the largest dog activity center in the Northeast and one of the largest all-clicker-training programs in the country. Gail volunteers as Training Director and head trainer for NH Pathways to Hope, a prison dog program in which inmates train dogs as service dogs for people with disabilities.
Named one of the top five lecturers in the world on dog behavior and training by England's Our Dogs Magazine, her reputation is well-earned. Gail’s entertaining and educational seminars spread the word of humane, dog-friendly training and a greater understanding of dog behavior to audiences throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. Gail's commitment to learning and sharing knowledge benefits dog owners, professionals and the dogs themselves.
Author of two award-winning books, several dog-training manuals, and a contributor to the AKC Gazette, Gail has been featured on numerous national and regional network and cable television broadcasts. She is a weekly columnist for the New Hampshire Sunday News, and has testified in court as an expert witness. Gail’s latest book, The Thinking Dog, published by Dogwise in early 2008, is the definitive text for "crossover" trainers.
A pioneer in the field of interactive doggie daycare, in 1993 Gail opened one of the first interactive daycares in the U.S., which now has a daily attendance of over 70 dogs. Her business model has been followed by dog professionals throughout the country. The knowledge gained from observing dog interaction in such a "laboratory" has been invaluable to her, her staff and her audiences.
Most importantly, it is Gail's principles and philosophy that energizes her staff, students, clients and participants at seminars. It is her belief and commitment to her mission that all dogs can reach their highest potential when their owners respect and understand their dogs, when dogs live in a mentally, physically and emotionally healthy environment, and when they are trained.Contact Us | Privacy | Legal | Site Map
