I have been taking care of and training dogs since I was about 10 years old. I have trained therapy dogs and dogs through 4-H. I have helped train a service dog while I was fostering him. I have attended many years of dog obedience classes that my mom and others teach. Many family members and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs, of all sizes, while they are away. My 3 year old 3-legged Golden Retriever is my baby and I take care of all dogs the way I want others to take care of him. I hope for this to provide some income while I work my way through my Masters courses at Grand Valley. Walking with dogs is one of the things I look forward to throughout the day.
