Known as “the Atlanta Dog Whisperer” and dog behavior expert, Angie has been labeled the “Dr. Phil” of the dog world. Dog owners want to know techniques that really work. She delivers real solutions with her tell it like it is approach. Angie really breaks the information down and helps people understand why they have trouble with their dogs and what they can do about it. People want real solutions that work and Angie’s lessons are life lessons, not just dog lessons.

Angie has an amazing approach to canine behavior based on a natural, holistic and, most importantly, instinctual way of thinking; she is educating people about the difference between Human Psychology and Dog Psychology. Angie does not consider herself a dog trainer, she calls herself the canine problem solver. Her fresh approach has been hailed as revolutionary by teaching others about centering the human before we begin teaching them about the dog.

With more than 25 years of professional experience working with dogs Angie’s knowledge has helped many owners and their dogs. When Angie was a toddler her family noticed her obsession with all animals and that she had a special connection with them. (Her family would often call her Ellie Mae, referring to the animal loving family member of The Beverly Hillbillies.)

When Angie was a young mom she operated a grooming business from her home. Many other groomers would send the dogs whose temperament or rambunctiousness they could not handle. As her children began to get older she started volunteering at a local vet clinic as a veterinary technician. She then spent the next 17 years in veterinary medicine and then spent the last 6 years of her medical experience involved in wildlife rehabilitation. Whilst working at the veterinary clinic she became known for helping with unstable dogs. This then grew into clients of the clinic turning to her for help with their dog’s behavior problems.

As the years passed Angie focused on learning everything she could about canine behavior. She attended university behavior seminars, read books and completed educational courses but most importantly she began living with a pack of dogs. She made it a point to study and be an involved observer of dogs. Nowadays, Angie and her son Josh run U.S. Canine, a rehabilitation center that specializes in dogs with aggression, fears, phobias, and other behavioral issues, located in the metro Atlanta area.

Although Angie is a huge proponent of saving dogs, she is an even bigger advocate of preventing the incredible amount of unwanted animals, and educating the public in regards to animal health and well-being. As a result, Angie decided to take her passion beyond the local community and in 2010 Dog Corps was born. Currently Dog Corps is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose focus is to alleviate the suffering of all dogs internationally and at home in the United States through spaying and neutering, crisis response, and humane education. From no cost spaying and neutering clinics, to educating the community about population control and humane care, Dog Corps is truly an army for the welfare of all dogs around the world.
