I have been an all-around animal lover from day one (surprise!) as there were pets in my family's home before I was even born. From a young age, I have rescued and raised pets from reptiles to felines and canines to even bunnies and my tarantula (who is now 10 years old!) It was a rewarding experience being able to rescue pets so I started canine training at age 14 as a part of an internship and then landed my first job at 16 to teach canine training classes from puppy ages to preparing canines for their AKC test. I believe in using positive training methods in order to create a strong and trusting bond between you and your canine. Currently, I am a full-time student so my class schedules do change frequently but often have flexibility in between classes. I am also a big lover of all things outdoors so I love to keep pets physically active. A tired puppy is often a happy puppy.
