Passionate Dog Trainer & Veterinary Professional

Sheri Phillips-Majmundar has been helping families build better relationships with their dogs for nearly three decades. Originally from Syracuse, New York, Sheri graduated from St. Francis College in Brooklyn before moving to the Triangle in 1996 with plans to attend veterinary school at NC State. Fate had a different plan—her passion for teaching puppy classes at Northwoods Animal quickly led her to a rewarding career in dog training. Inspired by her work, Sheri studied under Sherri Dodson, adopting the Start Them Right curriculum and shifting her focus to training and behavior education.

Sheri’s mission is to fill the gap between training and behavior support that so many families need for a smooth transition into life with a dog. Whether working with new pet owners or seasoned dog lovers, Sheri brings warmth, expertise, and practical solutions to every interaction.

Currently the practice manager at Northwoods Animal, Sheri combines her hands-on experience as a veterinary technician with her deep understanding of dog behavior to support families and their canine companions.

When she’s not teaching or managing the practice, Sheri loves spending time with her husband, two boys, and her furry companions. Whether hiking, playing, or simply enjoying time with dogs, she’s always embracing her love of animals.

Fun Fact: Sheri’s unique path from veterinary medicine to dog training has allowed her to bridge the gap between health, behavior, and education in a way that truly transforms the lives of families and their pets.
