All my life, I have had or been around dogs, cats and other creatures. I have fostered and found homes for almost a hundred dogs and cats. I have nursed dogs through parvovirus and cured them of what ailed them. I learned from one of the original "dog whisperer"s and have helped many a troubled pet through behavioural issues and traumas. I have a 16 yr old dog Courage and 2 4 yr old sister cats who are well accustomed to all kinds of animals and my dog has helped raise many a wily puppy. My 8 y.o. daughter loves animals as much as I do and she has started to help training dogs as well right along with me. We live right next to the best unofficial dog park in Ashland and have plenty of space and places to walk them.
