WHY IS MURPHDOG TOP-DOG?

 

 

Top Pros are among the highest-rated, most popular professionals on Thumbtack.

I’m Jenna Robbins. It’s important that you know who I am, and what makes MURPHDOG MAGAZINE different. Being a dog lover does not qualify anyone for top-dog status. I achieved this accomplishment by having thirty years of hands-on experience working in multiple dog-related fields.

In addition to my own professional dog training business, I penned a pet advice column for a New York magazine, was asked to teach dog training at Long Island University and audited veterinary medical lectures at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine.  I’m skilled in the art of dog grooming, conversant about dog nutrition, and trained my own dogs for commercial work. Volunteering at animal shelters and providing a nurturing, safe haven to abused and neglected dogs magnified my insight.

My passion is to share my expertise and experience with you. My goal is to improve life for dogs and pet parents. My hope is that you learn, enjoy and benefit from MURPHDOG MAGAZINE.
