Finnegan, a 60 lb border collie, was always a heap of trouble. He was picked up by animal control on the side of a mountain at 6 months and has always been a little wild with a taste for adventure. It is a brave soul who willingly takes Finnegan for long walks in the woods. He is known to roll in dead salmon, quarrel with porcupines, and eat every species of scat available. Stephanie is an attentive and responsible friend to Finnegan. Always steering him from trouble, not to mention pooh, and then dutifully dealing with his shenanigans when his curiosity and vigor gets the better of them. I highly recommend her as your dog's new friend. Finnegan gives her an enthusiastic two paws way up.

Stephanie is truly a "Dog Whisperer." She was able manage Lokie, my mischievous Alaskan Malamute. She entered his life by taking him on many snowy hikes and adventures. I later rescued a sweet, but very wild, Husky-Akita mix that came to adore Stephanie. She was able to train him with compassion and helped him to be a wonderful companion. She is confident, safe, and loving... she has a true gift.
