Born and raised in Brooklyn, Gail has lived on the Upper West Side for the past 25 years. She began her career in recording studio and audio post production management, but she eventually switched careers to pursue her lifelong passion for dogs. She opened and managed a doggy daycare, boarding and grooming facility called Playground Pups on the Upper West side in 2009 until selling it in 2019. She then stayed involved in the dog world as a dog walker until joining the amazing apprenticeship program at AGDT.

Along with her apprenticeship duties, she is also training as an instructor at A Fair Shake for Youth, a nonprofit that brings therapy dog programs to underserved middle school students in New York City. She lives with her husband, their two silly cats, Papi and Oliver (the true bosses of her household) and their new rescue pup Bertie, a pittie/lab/cattledog mix. Gail is certified by The Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.
