Welcome To My Professional Page
Greetings! My name is Clara Belle Estrella and you have found my professional page. Traditionally, Cardigan Welsh Corgis enter the field of cattle herding and most of my ancestors found rewarding careers in this bucolic profession. More recently, however, many members of my family have made their livings in show business, performing for appreciative audiences at dog shows throughout the world. Some Corgis are also employed as hearing-ear dogs assisting humans with hearing impairments. Any of these honorable career choices, would have suited me well but I have found an even more rewarding path as a lifestyle therapist. My two principal clients, Dr. Steven Estrella and his wife Kathleen, have been with me for many months now. I have been working with them to exercise more, work a bit less, spend more time playing, and generally stop to smell the roses. I also have occasional consulting jobs with my neighbors, Joe and Dot, and another young couple in Warrington. I have found that I have an intuitive understanding of the principles of behaviorism and I use this ability to modify the lifestyles of my clients. Some of my favorite therapy tools include rubber balls, stuffed animals, a plethora of squeaking toys, and various non-toxic projectiles. Occasionally I distract my clients from their more stressful acitivities by performing a variety of simple tricks to amuse them. I also make liberal use of the standard hug-therapy techniques as seen in the photograph below.
One of the benefits of my career choice is that I have developed a finer understanding of the English language. One of my therapeutic techniques is to teach my native language of Corgi to my clients even as I improve my understanding of English. The lesson page contains a sample lesson which I use during the first few days of therapy with my clients.
Here are a few links related to my professional interests.
