At 8 years old I learned to train my first dog, a Jack Russel Terrier. Skippy was his name, and he taught me the value of the relationship that one can build with a canine. Over the years, I have helped family, friends, and neighbors potty train, leash train, walk, board, and groom their dogs while also teaching them a few little tricks. In my younger years, I was unfortunate enough to have two bad experiences. At 8 I was attacked by 2 Rottweilers and at 13 I was attacked by a German Shepard. However, my love for dogs has never wavered as I now, several years later, have my own 7 year old bundle of energy and joy, Dodger. With Dodger and my partner at my side, I hope that the lessons I learned can be reflected by helping others.
