Faye Dunningham

Faye Dunningham was born, raised and lives in coastal New England. She has devoted much of her life to the wonderful canines that we share this world with.

Her interest in puppies and dogs began at an early age, spending summers as an assistant and handler for her aunt, a dedicated breeder who was also involved in the show world. This offered her a truly wonderful opportunity to learn about a wide variety of dog breeds. The gentle guidance received at a young age paved the roads that Faye Dunningham walks upon today.

This also offered her the opportunity to meet many other canine enthusiasts, trainers, breeders and handlers. Years of making notes, studying and always taking in all that she experienced is what has led to her strong devotion that comes across in all of her current work with canines.

Faye devotes a good portion of her days as a volunteer with many of the local animal shelters that span across New England. Most of her work involves pairing up with dogs that need training before they would be a good fit for a new family. This involves behavioral training, housebreaking and command training. She also holds classes for new owners so that they have the tools and knowledge to provide the best possible environment and atmosphere for the health and happiness of the new canine family members.

Her motto is that "ANY dog, no matter breed or age can be trained. This takes love and proper training methods...which anyone can provide if they take the time to learn and then apply the methods"

Ms. Dunningham has also worked with several NE organizations which brings dogs to visit seniors who are in need of companionship. She finds it beneficial beyond words.
