Throughout my entire life, my family has always owned a pet from dogs to cats to even hamsters! So it was only natural that when I got a place of my own, I immediately wanted to own a dog to make the house feel more like home. I have owned two labs in my adult life so far, and the unconditional love that they give you is unlike anything else. After my first dog had passed three years ago, I became obsessed with watching dog training videos from various trainers. I made it my mission to train my new pup to the best of my ability and to give him the best quality of life. When he was young, at times the training seemed hopeless, but in the end, all of the hard work and persistence has paid off. He is such a good dog & walking is so much more enjoyable. Moral of the story is I am a patient, persistent, gentle and kind person. I understand that physical activity is so important to your dogs, physical and mental quality of life. Different interactions & scenery will help stimulate your dog and wear them out. My love for animals & furry companions runs even deeper as I am also an Artist that specializes in Pet Portraits. Honouring those loved ones, through a custom piece of art, that someone can cherish for years fills my soul!
