I am the proud dog mom of 2 pug mixes. They are 8 and 6 and I've had each for 5 years now. I have always loved animals so this seems like a natural and easy way to work while doing what I enjoy. I am affectionate with dogs, but do have a strong appreciation for leadership and boundaries when interacting with animals. Dogs feel more comfortable with a confident human figure and I am prepared to provide that. I have many years of experience working with children as well and to be honest the basic needs and expectations are not all that different. One of my dogs is special needs, having provided me with some experience managing and training a high anxiety animal. Looking forward to meeting your pooch!
