I was raised around 4 dogs, 12 chickens and 4 cats, on a ranch like property in the Napa Valley. I also know certain dog whisperer techniques from watching my grandmother train her foster dogs. I'm patient, I don't believe in using a violent force while training or disciplining your animal. There's a dog park on my premises, and I'm 2 minutes away from a dog friendly trail! I work part time at a local gift shop that is 3 minutes away, while my husband is home full time. We do have two kitties who are spunky and get along well with dogs. I guarantee to provide constant love and affection for your pup, I absolutely love animals, and will definitely make the experience wag worthy!
