She held a position there for two years and co-developed the Puppy Problem Prevention Program with Lois Hall. During that time, McMahon was also working with a local trainer, Steve Lindsay. Prior to earning her degree, she was a private animal behavior consultant. After completing her fieldwork on Chilean foxes, McMahon opened a training center and began providing both private and group classes, as well as individual evaluations and consultations.
