I am a retired agriculture science teacher. I have a Bachelors of Science in animal science and a Bachelors of Science in agriculture education. I have a Masters of Science degree in curriculum and instruction. I have been a certified professional dog trainer for the past ten years. I am a canine good citizen and puppy star evaluator for the AKC. I retired from the pet industry a few years ago by choice but I miss the animals and work. Thus, I decided to return but on a much smaller scale. I am an avid runner so I love high energy breeds. I have two Australian cattle dogs myself. I also have a house pot belly pig, a green cheek conure, ducks, chickens, barn cat, and an African spurred tortoise.
