I've trained and taken care of dogs for 5 years now. High energy dogs, quirky dogs, couch potato dogs- I've lived with them all. I have a high intuition to how a dog feels and needs. Each dog I meet I instantly love, no matter how quirky or crazy! I'm able to run, hike with, or just walk around the block with any size dog. I've trained and worked with puppies as well. I think there is a good balance to hit between authoritative commands (sit, stay, etc.) and making the dog feel relaxed. I am educated in what makes a dog act out, or why it emits a certain behavior and how to deal with that. I love love love all kinds of dogs!
