I am very positive with dogs, but also firm when I need to be. Dogs need comfort but also respect and to learn that they cannot and should not control the owner. Loving them is easy for me as I grew up around a lot of animals and wanted to be a veterinarian. I have been a teacher of special needs children for over 3 years in the school system, and have a way with most animals that I meet as far as their behavior. I have been working for a "care" website since 2010 and love to help owners and animals cultivate that special relationship that is so integral to the health of both owner and animal. Because I wrote IEP goals for students with special needs, I feel equipped to help animal owners with their animals.
