My experience comes from a childhood of taking care of family dogs and cats, as well as over 200 hours of volunteer work at my local animal shelter. I have experience with a large variety of dogs varying not only in size, breed, and age but in energy and anxiety levels. I always try to stay informed on the best methods of training and handling of dogs and make sure every dog is handled as an individual with their own personal needs. I also have lots of experience with cats varying in age, size, and temperament. I am eager to work and motivated by the freedom and flexibility of the job as I am a student. I am also excited to be helping others and dogs in my community.
