I have been training service dogs for veterans with PTSD and traumatic brain injury for the past 7 years. My family and I are training our fourth dog, and I was also employed by Warrior Canine Connection as kennel staff. During a shift, I would be expected to handle about 12 dogs, but I have handled up to 20 dogs during a shift. My dog related responsibilities included admitting medications, feeding, walking/exercise, bathing, and taking care of newborn puppies (from 12 hours to 12 weeks old). I worked at Warrior Canine Connection for over two years. I am currently studying political science and economics at Towson university. I have loved dog sense 5 years old and did everything I could to convince my parents to get me a dog and only after 7 years of asking did our family being to train service dogs. Ever sense then i have always had a dog around.
