About Melissa Singh

Melissa Singh has co-owned Sunnyvale Veterinary Clinic with her husband Dr. Raj Singh since 2002. She gets to do all of the fun stuff behind the scenes: designing and maintaining the web site and blog, managing the Facebook page, and developing client educational materials. (She also gets to do some not-so-fun stuff too, like ordering supplies and paying the bills). Although she is not an expert, Melissa is knowledgeable about many pet-care topics, especially dog training & behavior. She lovingly credits all of the dogs who have come and gone in her life, especially her current "problem child" Border Collie/German Shepherd cross, Lacey, for educating her on this subject. To learn more about dogs and to help her own dogs, Melissa has spent many hours in dog training classes, private behavior consultations, and continuing education seminars, and has read dozens of books about dog behavior and training.
