I have owned and admired dogs for most of my life. In 2014, I started my journey as a puppy raiser for Guiding Eyes for the Blind. While working with these amazing dogs and learning about their capabilities, my desire to better understand dogs grew more and more. I earned my dog training certification through CATCH Academy and started to work with dogs of all breeds and ages. Through the years and my volunteer work at a local shelter, I discovered that I want to help people understand their dogs, so they may live together in greater harmony. I am sharing my knowledge of dogs and how to meet their needs so that they can be calm and confident members of the human/canine team.
