About Stacy Alldredge: An passionate advocate on behalf of dogs for more than 20 years, Stacy Alldredge is one of the few long-term, practicing, canine behavior specialists concentrating on challenges such as inter- and cross-species aggression, separation anxiety and Obsessive/ Compulsive Disorder, among others.
