Hello! I have a 15-year old border collie and we have been cross country skiing, sheep herding and hiking all over the USA. My dog has taught me that dogs needs positive reinforcement, exercise for the body and mind plus love! I have extensive experience training dogs in basic compliance and walking on leash. Previously I had helped a dog rescue with basic compliance to make the dogs more adoptable. In my profession, behavior is communication and finding out what a dog needs is the key to boredom. I also enjoy making organic treats for dogs and making sure they are living a healthy lifestyle. I have a small semi-fenced yard and a dog friendly apartment/rugs. Muddy paws are a part of a happy life!
