Brook Lefkowitz is a dedicated and highly skilled dog trainer with extensive certifications in training, behavior, and nutrition, coupled with an associate's degree in human psychology. She founded her training academy in response to the shortage of quality trainers in the area. Brook's Dog Training Academy (BDTA) was born in 2018.
