I grew up with dogs and have trained and currently care for my 9 year old dog for. I am a ham for dogs, I love playing, running, snuggling, and rubbing bellies. I can reinforce any training you are currently doing or can help to retrain. I have a very gentle, reinforcing way of connecting with dogs in regards to training. I tend to gain trust easily and have a knack for quickly becoming part of the pack! I have a background in teaching and have formal training in psychology from Naropa University. I am originally from the North East and grew up in a home that trained bird dogs. I watched and learned from my father who had an affinity for German Short-haired pointers. Although I do not activly train bird dogs, I have integrated that which I learned from him, his passion for dogs, and kindness in the training of my Fiest/Dingo mix.
