Scott Gonyea

Originally from Albany, New York, Scott brings a wealth of knowledge to Camp Wagging Tails. After a rewarding career in the telecommunications industry, he went on to pursue a career in dog training.

After feverishly learning the science of how animals learn, and then spending years creating and perfecting his craft, he went on to work with clients and their dogs on his own.

Having learned the importance of remaining humble and the value of always learning, Scott addresses dogs’ unwanted behaviors by taking a baby steps approach that’s simple, fun and effective so owners become happier with their dogs.

When he’s not helping clients to enjoy easier lives with their canine companions, he can be found volunteering at local animal shelters.
