Author Visit: Lisa J. Edwards, author of "A Dog Named Boo"

Come meet Lisa J. Edwards, author of A Dog Named Boo: How One Dog and One Woman Rescued Each Other – and the Lives They Transformed Along the Way. Lisa, who offers dog training classes in Westchester and Putnam, is a Nationally Certified Professional Dog Trainer, and a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant; a Pet Partners Certified Evaluator and Certified Instructor; and an American Kennel Club Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. Lisa and her three dogs are all registered Pet Partners. Her philosophy is: “The best dog/human relationship comes through a balance of boundaries, requested behaviors, and freedoms.” Lisa, accompanied by Boo, will talk about the unflappable spirit and boundless love of Boo, who has changed countless lives through his work as therapy dog—helping a mute six-year-old boy to speak, coaxing movement from a paralyzed girl, and stirring life in a ninety-four-year-old nun with Alzheimer’s. But perhaps Boo’s greatest miracle is the way he transformed Lisa’s life, giving her the greatest gift of all—faith in herself. Registration begins March 21 - call 914-739-5654.
