Lisa Radosta DVM, DACVB, Board Certified Veterinary Behaviorist

“I lived with a Rottweiler with serious aggression for over 12  years. I have walked in the shoes of many of my clients. When my daughter was born, Peanut, my Rottweiler was 8 ½. We found a way for us to all live harmoniously, giving Peanut a great quality of life and keeping my daughter safe. "
