According to Guzewicz, showing helps one be a good breeder.
“I breed to show and show to breed,” declares Nora Guzewicz, who breeds, shows, and grooms Bichon Frisés. She also runs a “Fit Club” for overweight and out-of-shape dogs, as well as for dogs requiring extra exercise ($320 for eight half-hour sessions). Utilizing balance balls, rocker boards, and underwater treadmills, McMahon does her best to heal the most injured animals. McMahon has worked with a squirrel and a rabbit (both with broken legs), and a bird with a fractured wing, but her more common patients are dogs with hip dysplasia, ligament tears, or spinal injuries, including herniated disks. She now serves as the resident animal physical therapist in the new, state-of-the-art Animal Specialty Center in Yonkers. So, McMahon went back to school for another BA, receiving her vet tech certification 10 years ago. In 1997, she was a licensed physical therapist (for people) and, while watching a show on the Discovery Channel, had an epiphany: “Why can’t I apply my skills to animals?” She called her veterinarian and quickly discovered that it would be illegal for her to work on any animal other than the two-legged human.
McMahon has been an animal rehab specialist almost as long as the profession has been in existence. If a dog could say “Ahhhhhh” under the proficient hands of physical therapist Linda McMahon, it would. Physical Therapist Linda McMahon traded people patients for pets.
