I'm an animal lover. I believe animals deserve the same kindness and respect that we hope to deserve. I had dogs as a child, many (long-lived, indoor) cats while I was at university, and now I'm mom to two standard poodles and one 18-year old tabby cat. I've taken my fur-babies to lots of behavioral and agility training and would love to train dogs as part of my services (I hope to earn certification). I like to let dogs be dogs, so our walks tend to be long sniffing expeditions, full of joyful, unplanned dog meet-ups.
