Lindsey Lehman  is a certified educator currently working in the Holland area and a wildlife rehabilitator. "Our wildlife comes and goes, however, my husband and I have four permanent "domestic" residents; our dogs, Mobius and Kubba, and our cats, Shazie and Pinkerton, whom we adore to pieces! Currently I am completing my certification in dog training and behavior modification through Dog's Bay Country Club and loving every minute of it! I have always been intrigued with animals and they way they communicate and interact with one another. If we pay close attention, I believe we humans could learn a lot from our furry friends!

Robert Crough - "I've been around dogs all my life, personally and professionally.   As a teen in Kentucky and Tennesee I would watched intently as  ranchers and stock contractors use Cattle Dogs to control massive herds of livestock with grace and precision.  I've been able to witness first hand how the Kiwi train Aussie Shepards to heard sheep in New Zealand.  These experiences motivated me to go to G.V.S.U. for an AS in animal biology 2004,2005.  In 2006 I was hired at Companion School for Dogs as a manager of the dog school, and was quickly promoted to General Manager of the company. I was able to be taught dog behavior by two of the most successful trainers in the state, Deb Scanzillo, and the late Jim Scanzillo. My experience there was priceless.  I was pack leader for a free roam pack of 25 dogs!  In 2007 I traveled to Los Angeles to attend a dog behavior class put on by the "Dog Whisperer" himself Cesar Milan!  I'm now at Dogs Bay in the Dog Rehabilitation Pack and as a personal trainer".
