Hello Dog Lovers and Parents! I'm a retired 4-Her of 4 years now, after spending nearly 5 years in the show ring with not dogs, but Camelids! I indeed trained llamas and alpacas, but my love of training animals truly began with my dog Samara when I was around 15. I'm patient, and can adapt to an animals needs. If its one thing I learned from owning the 3 different animals that I showed, it was that they all were different and responded to different training techniques. So rest assured, I'll take the time to listen and get to know you and your pet to best fit you and their needs when it comes to walking, playing, and visiting! I work at my part time job 12-16 hours a week, and I attend UW for a few hours a day in the mornings most days and into the afternoon only a couple days out of the week.
