I am a work at home IT engineer by trade and outdoor enthusiast/animal lover by type. My Aussie Shepherd mix Bendi and I enjoy hiking the most whether it's rail trail, back country, or backyard trails . Over the years I have worked with many dog trainers for obedience and agility which has been my most rewarding experiences. Watching a dog learn a new trick and get excited about it makes any training worthwhile. When working with others' dogs I always take time to appreciate the animal's perspective. Each one of our pets has a unique personality and individual needs that I always base play/care on. I love getting to know every one of our four legged friends and seeing the best in them shine.
