Certified positive dog trainer. 26 years as an adult volunteer puppy raiser for a guide dog school. This includes welcoming a puppy at 7 weeks old and teaching it basic commands and socialization skills until it was between 12-14 months of age. The puppy is then called back to the school to learn harness work and be assigned a blind person. I am also a therapy dog handler and routinely visit libraries, care homes and schools with my dog. My pup has AKC therapy dog title, canine good citizen and working on trick title. While I will not sit in my own home, I will gladly travel to your home throughout the day. Love to walk, hike and go on adventures. An animal lover, I currently have a German Shepherd and Lab cross of my own. Also experienced with cats/kittens, horses, fish and most rodents. I am very conscientious and responsible. I expect my dog to be treated well and will do the same with your furry family.
