Dogs are near and dear to my heart. I have two of my own and they keep me healthy and active. I'm very patient and love working to build healthy habits in dogs. I believe in positive reinforcement and have based a lot of my philosophy from the work of Karen Pryor's book "Don't shoot the dog" I don't believe in any negative reinforcement and do my best to not get angry or frustrated with my dogs and approach them with empathy. My dogs are incredibly playful and friendly and get along with most other dogs. On average I run my dogs for about two hours a day on local trails. Pleas don't hesitate to ask me any questions. I look forward to working with you to help and support your dogs well being!
