A native of England, Maggie has been an animal trainer since the age of 6, when she bartered to train the stable owner's dogs in exchange for riding lessons! A childhood surrounded by dogs, cats, horses, ducks and donkeys led to a love and intuitive understanding of animals that has made Maggie one of the most beloved trainers and animal behaviorists in New York City.
A skilled rider and show jumper, Maggie coached Columbia University's fledgling equestrian team.
Certified as a trainer with the Association of American Pet Dog Trainers, Maggie scored 100% in all sections of the certification process, ethology, training techniques and behavior.
A former member of the Animal Behavior Center at the ASPCA in New York City, Maggie can be seen on Animal Planet's series Animal Precinct exploring dog and cat issues with a unique blend of knowledge, compassion and humor.
Working with the Wildlife Conservation Society at the Central Park Zoo, Maggie designed and implemented an enrichment program for river otters to reduce stress in a captive environment.
Maggie believes in lifelong education: she trained as a nurse at St. Mary's Hospital in London, graduated cum laude from Marymount Manhattan College with a degree in psychology, and is a graduate student in the Master's program in animal behavior and conservation at Hunter College.
