I have been around dogs and animals since I was born! I have a lot of experience with many different animals that include dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles, and even grizzly bears! For 4 years I was a dog volunteer mentor at a shelter where I was responsible for training volunteers to safely work with the dogs at the shelter. I have worked with dogs of all sizes, ages, and behaviors including difficult behaviors. I am able to work on training your dog as well which was also part of my responsibilities as a dog pal mentor. For the last 2 1/2 years, I have been a graduate student supervisor at the WSU Bear Center where I learned how to administer medications that required injections.
