I was born and raised on a hobby farm in Minnesota where I was surrounded by about 10 to 30 dogs in my life, including puppies. Breeds of dog that I have personally taken care of include: Border Collies, Poodles, Papillions, Golden Retrievers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, along with a variety of designer breeds too. I have a vast amount of experience living with, raising, training, loving, and competing with dogs. I've been in obedience trials, showmanship trials, agility trials, frisbee trials, and, my personal favorite, herding trials. I have taken care of many dogs all at once while also keeping the farm running by taking care of the horses, sheep, cats, and chickens that inhabited our home. I have quite the affinity with animals and especially dogs. Most recently, I have also become a Dog Trainer at Petco, gaining new insights and skills to better care for your pet needs!
