I have owned dogs my whole life and have been training professionally for almost 10 years. I encourage walks and playtime to stimulate the dogs mind. This helps tire the dog out faster while learning at the same time! I have worked in kennels, pet stores, and training facilities. I am still in contact with many of my previous clients and students; along with always being the "Dog Expert" many of my friends and family can go to for advice. I hold a certification in canine communication and continue to expand qualifications and knowledge on dogs. I fully agree dogs are part of our family and should be treated as just. When pets are in my care I make sure to treat them just as my own.
