I have 13 years of experience from my own dog. I have trained him to be well behaved enough to go to school and work with me. He has done therapy work for the elderly. I consider myself to be patient, yet firm. I love challenging dogs both mentally and physically. If your dog likes slow and steady walks, I can be patient and let them smell to their hearts content. If your dog is more high energy, I can power walk or do some light jogging with them to burn off some of that extra energy. I have experience giving pills and shots to dogs (I did a vet tech program and volunteered at a vet clinic in the past). My passion is training dogs. Be it basic obedience, more advanced "tricks," or helping a dog conquer their fear of certain situations, people, or other dogs. I also have a cat that I’m training to be an adventure cat. I take her on walks when I take my dog for a walk. When she gets tired or overwhelmed, I put her in my backpack with it open so she can still look out.
