I've cared for and owned special needs animals for nearly 30 years. I'm most at home around dogs, cats and other animals. I'm a big softy when it comes to animals! My first dog was a golden retriever and he was truly my best friend. Miles (named after Miles Davis) was the best buddy, and I knew that dogs would always be a part of my life. I spent more and more time around animals, learning as much as I could. I've never had professional dog training experience, but I have successfully trained my own dogs and other dogs. I think it's because I speak to them like they are my equal. That's how I treat all the dogs and animals I watch and care for. They are friends and family to me. I've worked with many breeds and sizes of dogs, including Retrievers, Setters, Pit Bulls, Dachshunds, Malteses, Bichons, Pomeranians, Beagles, Rottweilers, and more. I have one dog now, a fox-faced Pomeranian named Sunny and he's the love of my life. I will give your dog or pet the care, love, and respect that I give every animal, because that's what they deserve!
