I have worked with animals for many years, beginning with training and showing horses which spanned about 20 years. I've worked in wildlife rehab as well as a veterinary clinic. My experience with dogs began a few years ago as a volunteer with the local humane society where I had a special fondness for the harder dogs. I am now the proud owner of 2 German Shepherds, a Plott Hound and a Norwegian Elkhound. PACES officially began in December of 2022 and since then, I have had the honor of helping 29 dogs with their humans offering behavioral modification and obedience through private lessons.
