I have a long history of working with dogs, from caring for dogs over night for five years, training dogs (including my own), and working at my local animal shelter in Seattle, as well as working on the K9 unit at the Spokane Humane Society. I am very patient with even the most stubborn dogs. I have a passion for animal care and I can practice skills with your dog from basic commands (sit, lay, stay), basic skills (learning to walk on a lead or in a harness), or any other goals you have for your dog (for example learning to heel). I am also willing to take dogs on extended walks (two to four mile walks) for those with pups with lots of energy.
