Volunteering in shelters and for a service dog organization led to education, starting my own business, and certification.

The quality of the relationship you have with your dog is key to a well trained dog.

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

My mission is to get dogs out of shelters and into homes. I dedicate one day a week to volunteer training dogs who are in shelters or rescues. For dogs already in homes, to keep the owners and the dogs happy together...that relationship!
