I have always been exposed to dogs, growing up in a house with several, which has taught me how to interact with them and speak their language. After adopting my own herding dog at 8 weeks I have taken several positive reinforcement training classes, read multiple books from different perspectives, and have been training dogs for the past 4 years using the methods I have learned. It is important to me to monitor a dogs behavior and body language in relation to other dogs and I am skilled at managing groups of dogs or problem dogs so that everyone has healthy positive interactions. I am currently renovating my home but only minor work is being done and I ensure that it is entirely dog safe.
