15 Rules for Clicker Training Your Dog.
One of Nancy’s stories about Amanda appeared in Chicken Soup for the Sister’s Soul, II.
A community theatre buff, Nancy has written, directed, produced and acted in several of her own plays, including On Lining Up, a comedy which earned a CTAM Award.
Nancy is a prolific artist, specializing in paintings of animals. She is winner of the Ex Arte Equinuus Award for Equine Art. She uses watercolor, acrylics, oils, pencil, pen and ink, and enjoys painting on slate. She paints commissioned pet portraits, capturing the spirit of the individual animal in each. Nancy admits that unfortunately, most of her portraits are post-mortem, and she describes herself as, "The Angel of Death."
"It's like being a playground bully. When someone starts to cry, I know I've done a good job."
Nancy currently lives in Michigan with several dogs and Morgan horses, and one silly cat. She trains animals for film and commercials.
Nancy tours with Clifford, a trick trained Morgan horse who visits libraries and schools to promote literacy and empathy, provides therapy for people with disabilities, and signs his own biography, Clifford of Drummond Island.
As if she doesn’t already have enough tabs open, Nancy is currently working on a film about Clifford.
