Dogs and animals are not just a hobby for me, they are my life! My passion for animals all started when I was 8 years old, when I rescued my first dog, Buddy. At the time I wasn't sure how much work and energy it took to care for a puppy. Once I found out the joy of ownership, I was hooked! I would spend hours everyday teaching him new skills and tricks. As a young girl I always envisioned my life by being surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes. By the age of 16, I had rescued another dog and also started showing horses and being heavily involved in 4H programs across Middle Tennessee. In addition to showing horses I also worked on a very busy equine farm taking care of all the animals, big and small! This passion fueled me to start volunteering at any animal shelter that would have me. Now as a young adult, I have gone to school and became a certified professional dog trainer and made my career by helping dogs and their owners strive for a better and more successful life. My experience has taken me from simple house sits and dog walks all the way to training aggressive dogs and teaching beginner/advance obedience. I've also dedicated time and knowledge to helping rescues in Nashville. I have been a foster parent/trainer for Middle TN German Shepherd rescue for the past few of years. Animals are my passion and I strive to give the best care for you and your pet! I understand that giving someone access to your pet/home and entrusting them to treat them as you would is difficult. But don't worry, I will go over everything in a consultation so you can feel confident and comfortable allowing me in your home and spending time with your pet(s).
