Family and friends call me the dog whisperer; I don't know if that's true, but I do love to figure out how to communicate with every dog I meet. I have worked with dogs ever since I can remember: we had three collies when I was a little girl, and over the past 20 years I've owned or fostered more breeds than I can remember. I have trained a Tibetan spaniel, a beagle, a schnauzer, two cocker spaniels, a husky, three shepherd mixes, two pit-lab mixes, two Cavalier King Charles spaniels, and countless mutts of all shapes and sizes. I have yet to meet a dog I don't like! I absolutely love the challenge of working with the immense variety of doggie shapes, sizes, and personalities.
