Peyton has been helping with dogs since she was four years old. At that time, her family got a puppy. Peyton helped to train that dog by attending Puppy Kindergarten and then working on the training with the puppy and her mom each night. Later on, her family began volunteering as Weekend Puppy Raisers for the non-profit NEADS organization that trains world class service dogs. Over the years, the family helped train about 8 dogs. Peyton was very involved with the service dogs in training by going on increasing more difficult "outings" in order to expose the dogs to all kinds of things: trains, grocery stores, water, Santa, large gatherings like graduations, etc. Most recently she has helped with the family's new puppy by working on basic obedience, loose leash walking, recall and play time. Peyton is very good with dogs and also extremely responsible. I would highly recommend her.
