I've been around dogs my whole life and grew up with two much-loved family dogs. When we welcomed a new puppy into the family, I was so eager to learn about training that I took our puppy to obedience classes myself at just 10 years old. In recent years I've cared for friends' dogs and cats, whether for a day, a week, or longer. This has included dog walking, meal times, and even house sitting. I also have my own beautiful dog, who joined our family two years ago and keeps me active with plenty of walks, playtime, and adventures.
