I am a very calm and collected person. I am patient and kind. I am stern when I need to be. I respect the relationship dogs have with their families and homes. I love going on long walks, the kind where you get to sniff all your favorite bushes, and afterwards need a nice long nap. I have owned dogs, myself, my entire life. I have trained them and cared for them in all stages of their lives. I have trained herding dogs (border collies and Australian shepherds), to assist in farm work and other related tasks. I enjoy actively engaging dogs, as well as, lounging and relaxing after a long hard day. I look forward to meeting you and your faithful companion. Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit more about me.
