I'm a NoVa native and have been a lover of animals both big and small as long as I can remember! I've had plenty of experience with all kinds of dogs as well as cats and exotic pets such as rabbits, ferrets, hamsters, and chinchillas. I worked as a dog trainer/behavior specialist for several years and would be happy to follow any training routines that you currently enforce or would like to work on or begin! I've worked with many rescue dogs to try and correct or adapt problem behaviors especially regarding leash-walking so walking/jogging is something I love doing to help get your canine friend's energy out! In my spare time I love taking my four-legged pals out to Shenandoah Valley to hike some challenging trails or to the Manassas Battlefields for scent work, it's so thrilling to see dogs enjoying themselves outdoors and seeing each of their personalities expand in new environments.
