The Anxiety Wrap's creator is Susan Sharpe, who has over 20 years experience working with animals. After successfully leaving the owner/management world she went full time into working with animals. Susan's experience is complemented by her continuing education of staying current on the latest alternative training techniques and their related issues. She stays current by enrolling in specific courses, workshops, clinics and seminars that will enable her to work with animals as a whole being, while addressing the training and/or behavior issues that concern their caretakers. A couple of these specific courses have been Purdue University's "DOGS" Course Principles and Techniques of Behavior Modification. Susan is also Indiana's only certified
Tellington TouchPractitioner. These combined with successfully attending and completing other various workshops, clinics and seminars continue to ensure that Susan remains updated and current when it comes to our animal companions. Susan is also a member in good standing with the APDT (Association of Pet Dog Trainers) and of course she possesses a genuine love and respect for animals.
