Behavior Vets New York

Mary Molloy, CPDT-KA

Independent Contractor - Behavior Consultant
The best part about my work is seeing people and their pets finally have the relationship they’ve always wanted to have.

A Eugene, OR native, Mary Molloy is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and a Certified Fear Free Professional. She started her career in 2005 by volunteering for the Behavior Department of the NYC ASPCA working with both cats and dogs and completing an internship working with the dogs rescued by the Humane Law Enforcement Division. At the same time, she completed an apprenticeship teaching group classes for puppies and adult dogs. In 2010 she opened her private training and behavior business, Nirvana Tails.

After much studying and encouragement from her ASPCA mentors, Mary completed a Cat Behavior Consulting mentorship through the IAABC, and in 2017 added feline behavior consultations to her practice.

When not seeing private clients, Mary works as a Cat Behavior Counselor for the Anti-Cruelty Behavior Team at the ASPCA. She also assists adopters from NYC Animal Care and Control and volunteers at quarterly adoption events to help new pet adopters with their behavior and training questions. You can also find her at vet offices and community groups around NYC giving talks about canine and feline body language and running community dog classes and kitten socialization classes whenever and wherever she can.

Mary is a professional member of the Association of Professional Dog Trainers (APDT) and a supporting member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants (IAABC). She regularly attends animal training and behavior conferences.

During her free time, you can find Mary enjoying a good mystery novel or relaxing with her cats Tashi and Tinley, and her husband Michael.
