I grew up on a farm with every animal imaginable. Throughout my life, my family and I have owned a Saint Bernard, a yellow lab, two Shih Tzus's and a Yorkie. I also was involved in 4H in which I showed many animals including dogs (my personal favorite). I have experience to train your dog to properly heel, sit, lay down and depending on the dogs temperament, roll over, shake hands, and "dance". Currently, my Fiance and I own a little Shih Tzus-mix. His name is Paxton (or Paxy for short), we love the little guy so much (we actually call him our fur-child haha). Due to my passion for animals, I decided 8 years ago to become a vegetarian, which I still am to this day. I enjoy being in nature and doing yoga in my free time. I have my B.A. in Psychology and I am working on my Masters in Social Work. I look forward to meeting your "fur babies"!
