I am in a doctoral program for occupational therapy at the University of St Augustine and I used to be a behavioral therapist, so I spend a lot of time using positive reinforcement with the kids I work with so though it’s different from the kind I use with dogs it’s been helpful to have the instinct of positively reinforcing certain actions. Ever since before I could remember we had a dog in our house, when I was 2 my dad brought home a Miniature Poodle and now they have a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I love animals and love to walk so I figured this was the perfect job for me! I am getting a puppy of my own in a few months and am doing online training classes to prepare for her. I am also excited to get to learn more through the dog parents I get to work with.
