Before joining the Department of Corrections as a Correctional Officer I was a dog trainer through the company called “Ruff Break” in Rochester mn. My love for animals is unstoppable and I’ve worked with hundreds of dogs in numerous training maneuvers such as biking, pulling weight, walking on a treadmill, leash training, and many more attributes to having a wonderful companion by your side. I would open an animal shelter if I had the time and money to do so. I’ve personally have spent time with and trained small dogs as little as wiener dogs and as big as new foundlands. Every dog has their own personality and need the right person to understand them. It is a myth to say old dogs can’t learn new tricks! All it takes is patients and time.
