Animals have always been a big part of my life. My interactions over the years with animals have taught me how to evaluate behaviors and understand how to predict and mitigate potential issues with the ability to address each unique need. Of course, it takes more than love -- it takes years of observation and continual study to understand and anticipate the needs of dogs entirely. And I pride myself on having successfully raised over twenty well-adjusted and highly socialized dogs (ranging in size from 10lbs. to 200lbs.) In that time, I've bred litters’, giving injections, and cared for infirmed animals. I've bathed dogs hundreds of times and trained and shown many more.
