I am a patient and caring life long dog lover. I got my first dog when I was a year old and have cared for and loved dogs all my life. I am an internationally certified dog trainer through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers and a Certified Canine Fitness Trainer through the University of Tennessee School of Veterinary Medicine. I spent more than 10 years fostering dogs for a statewide rescue agency. I have cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with health problems and dogs with behavior issues. I believe strongly in using positive reinforcement and praise. As a fellow pet parent, I realize how much you worry about your babies when you are away from them. I will care for your pets as if they were my own.
