Trish McMillan, MSc,
Certified Animal Behavior Professional

Trish McMillan holds a Master’s degree in Animal Behavior, and is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. She is an internationally-renowned sheltering and behavior expert, with more than 25 years of sheltering and training experience with multiple species. She presents and consults on shelter related issues, as well as working with select private clients for training and behavior problems in dogs, cats, and horses.

“I am a professional animal behaviorist who works with a municipal animal control facility. I used Trish's services to help facilitate staff meetings on our behavior policy, and subsequently draft and publish our shelter's adoptability criteria. Trish's help was absolutely invaluable to us. She is incredibly knowledgeable, one of the most talented in the industry. She worked well with everyone from our experienced animal control staff to our administrators. Using her expertise and guidance, we were able to create a very sound policy, that was clearly explained and keeps the public safe, while giving animals a fair chance at adoption. I would highly recommend her to all pet parents and professionals needing help.”
