I have always loved animals. I spent my childhood helping my mother raise kittens and walking the neighbor's dogs after school. I have raised two puppies of my own and I take pride in the things I’ve taught them. I’ve also learned so much from raising two dogs with completely different personalities. This has driven me to studying dog behavior and I hope to be a dog trainer one day. Recently I’ve been practicing training techniques with my dog and my friends dogs and I find it very rewarding. I like to switch up the walk each time I go out with a dog to keep things interesting for both me and the dog. I also like to teach them new tricks or reinforce desired behaviors.
