My friends all call me a dog magnet. When we take our dog out to play, all of the dogs gravitate to me (the treats in my pocket might have something to do with it). I started working with dogs when we got our puppy earlier this year. We trained him to advanced obedience in 5 months. Some of our neighbors were so impressed they asked if we could help their very high energy, mischievous husky lab mix, Kovu. I started training with Kovu every day working on basic obedience, impulse control, and physical exercise. He went from tearing up the house and needing to be put in the crate for hours, to a tired, happy dog content to relax while the owner worked from home. Kovu's owners also had the added bonus of no more accidents in the house on training days. From here, I caught the dog training bug. I started walking more dogs to help our busy friends and neighbors. I really liked seeing crazy, energetic dogs learn and become great family pets. Working with dogs helped my mental health improve dramatically, so I decided I wanted more dogs in my life. My goal is to become a certified service and therapy dog trainer, so I spend all my free time taking courses to learn more about dog psychology and obedience. I would love to work with your pet!
