Molly regularly attends in person and online educational events to keep her knowledge base up to date. Her background helps her be an advocate for humane training for pets and kind coaching for their human companions. Molly has a M.A. in Communication from the University of New Mexico and a B.A. from Wellesley College. She shares her home with her husband, 3 dogs, and her youngest son when he is home from college.
