Description
Lee Fratto: Lee Fratto was born and raised in New York City where, for many years, he worked in news radio production for Bloomberg Business News. There he served as technical producer and environmental reporter, doing stories on animal rights and environmental issues. He has always had a passionate love for animals and when Robin and Lee moved to California, he started working as a professional dog trainer in the San Jose area. He taught classes at Memorial Park in Cupertino and at the Petco in Mountain View. He now devotes all of his time to Doggiecamp and his family, and he is having the time of his life! He also does oil painting and animal portraits.
Robin Stone: I was born & raised on Long Island & moved to New York City upon graduating college. When I was 12 years old I began training neighborhood dogs to make extra money (my alternative to baby-sitting!) I have been training dogs ever since in one form or another…I have always had a deep understanding of animal behaviors & emotions. I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology from Syracuse University and took my first job at Dean Witter in the World Trade Center… From there I went to work in the marketing division of J.Crew & have worked in direct marketing ever since. In New York I worked for Grey Advertising, IBM, & Disney. After moving to Santa Cruz in 1996, I became a full time marketing consultant commuting back & forth to Disney in Burbank. My other clients included Frederick's of Hollywood & Esprit…Working in L.A. was where the dog training/sleep away camp had its inception. My boss Donna, had a mischievous dog Daisy, who we were able to completely turn around for her in 2 weeks. She was so impressed that she suggested we open up a training camp. She was really our inspiration! Currently I am consulting for Restoration Hardware in addition to my regular doggiecamp duties…..
Maggie: Our first dog together, was adopted from the Dallas SPCA. She is the perfect camp counselor for our campers. She never has any aggressiveness issues & is more than happy to submit when challenged. She especially loves campers that refuse to bring back the ball because she will push it away & bring it back for another throw. We trained Maggie with lots of love and praise and we never let her get away with anything. She is now 4 years old and a perfect little lady.
