Pet Works Owner Lynn Reece Broderick started her professional pet care business in May 2005. She is a member of the Association of Pet Dog Trainers and has extensive experience in dog behavior & training, safe animal handling, canine temperament evaluations, teaching dog obedience, canine behavior counseling, and training & competing in dog agility
Lynn began her career in animal behavior in the Fall of 1999 at the Erie County SPCA, developing and directing the innovative Animal Behavior & Training Department. Her duties included canine and feline behavior advice, training & stress reduction programs for the shelter animals, Family Companion and Puppergarden dog obedience programs, canine temperament evaluations, pet adoption counseling, and the TLC Program, which taught inner-city teens to train shelter dogs using positive reinforcement (praise and reward) techniques. She welcomed many foster dogs into her North Buffalo home during that time.
Her philosophy on training pets is to understand why they do what they do, and to use scientifically proven positive reinforcement techniques and good management to elicit any behavior modifications that are necessary. She believes that learning never ends, and frequently attends behavior and training seminars throughout the US and Canada, including the Pets For Life Program for shelters sponsored by the HSUS. She is constantly conferring with a great network of area trainers and behavior consultants, as well as associates across the country via the internet.
Lynn enjoys working with and teaching the owners as much as she enjoys the company and training of the animals! She believes that training and living with pets should be fun and rewarding, and when she creates a training program, she always tries to make sure everyone, human and canine, is enjoying the experience.
She competes in dog agility with her two “All-American” dogs, Riley and Amber, who have earned many higher level titles in NADAC, CPE, and USDAA, earning their CPE Trial Championship titles. She also dabbles in APDT Rally Obedience and has earned . AKC Canine Good Citizenship certificates on both dogs.
Lynn is actively involved in the Four Seasons Agility Club and currently volunteers for several local animal rescue organizations, including Feral Cat Focus.
