Presenter Information
Bernice Clifford, CPDT is the Behavior and Training Coordinator for Animal Farm Foundation, Inc, a not-for profit organization dedicated to
to securing equal treatment and opportunity for “pit bull” dogs. She also runs her own private Behavior and Training Practice. Clifford believes every dog is an individual. With that in mind, programs are designed for all dogs based on their individual needs. Dogs trained at Animal Farm Foundation go on to be assistance dogs for people with disabilities, certified therapy dogs, law dogs, obedience and sports competitors, and well behaved family pets. Clifford and her team provide a life time of follow up training and support to all of their dogs and their people. Although always dabbling in training and foster care for shelter dogs Clifford started her career full-time working with Veterinary Behaviorist Amy Marder in Boston in 2001. She moved to New York to take a full-time job with Animal Farm Foundation in 2005.
