After many years owning Golden Retr. dogs I rescued a pitt-mix puppy that was a hot mess. At the time I was ill-prepared to deal with his polarizing personality & behavioral issues but after years of trainers, boot camp, multiple colars, fences etc I feel I could practically give my own course on obedience/manners. I learned so much about myself through my sweet puppy dog I wrote a book about it! As far as caring for animals - especially dogs, I take it very seriously. I pride myself in being very detail oriented (borderline OCD!) & will treat your pup as if he/she were my own- including lots of love and, if requested, some disipline. One last thing: I love dogs so much that I think the “wet dog” smell could be a cologne- almostt!
