The best way to describe my love for dogs is this: “I simply can't pass anyone walking a dog without needing to pet it.”  I am “bonkers” about dogs.  My 17 year old Sheltie passed away a short while ago and as my heart starts to heal I can tell you that he will always be missed.

I read everything I can get my hands on about dogs.  I am physically active, have tons of energy and live to be outside and on the go, therefore dogs and I, especially active ones, are a perfect fit.  My style with animals is one of positive reinforcement.  I believe in loads of love and affection but also believe in boundaries with dogs and don’t let them be spoiled brats.  Spoiled is good – brats is bad!!!

I have worked endlessly with dogs following the principles of the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Milan, who promotes being “calm assertive” as a leadership style for all dogs.  I also believe his ideas about exercising dogs and that exercise, at the beginning of their day, is highly beneficial and will help keep your dog both healthy & happy.  I find that an exercised dog is definitely a happier, satisfied and mellow dog.

I would be very happy & honored to be your dog's pack leader whenever you need me!
