I am an extremely passionate and active student at VCU, and dogs are among the few experiences in life that truly inspire me. I have never been without a dog-friend. And currently, my best friend is my blue-speckled ACD Meeko, and we love to mountain bike, camp, explore, push each other, and spend time on the lake bass hunting. He is more impressive with each day of training, and I am lucky to call him my bud. Growing up, I had an ACD, Saint Bernard, Labs, bird dogs, hound dogs, lap dogs, etc. I have loved and trained all of them. My style of leadership is very attentive and direct. Dogs translate emotion, and it is our job to hone in on this and use it to benefit our mutual relationship.
