My passion for taking care of dogs allows me the companionship, you the convenience, and for them a safe, active, "happy dog" environment with gentle, motivating, positive, firm and effective guidance. Throughout my 40 plus years of experience I have worked at a rural veterinarian clinic while in high school, in animal medical clinics throughout college, and as an Animal Control Officer in a Midwest college town... all the while honing the skills that provide for the well-being, safety, and happiness of your pet. After saying goodbye to Lucy, my four-legged teacher of 16 years, we were’t planning on adopting TWO Great Pyrenees mix rescue puppies (well, they’ll always be puppies to me!). Having these two big girls keeps me busy and able to accept at best 2 smaller-sized (up to 15 lbs) or one medium (16 - 40 lbs) borders at this time.
