There is not a memory in my life that does not have a dog. Like many, I could not imagine life without them. Dogs have always been a part of my life, and will remain so for the rest of my future.

   I started to learn to train dogs back in 2007 and was focused on trying to find the best ways to understand how dogs communicate with their handler. Over the years this interest has steadily grown into a lifelong interest and has even branched into other fields such as animal tracking. In 2016 this interest was pushed into the center of my focus when my doctor recommended I get a service dog. For the next three years I was trained by local and regional dog trainers and learned to teach my pup advanced tasks for the job. Since 2016 this learning has never stopped and has advanced into fields such as KPA accreditaion. I never plan to stop learning, and I hope to pass on the same interest and focus on teaching animal communication with the people I work with.
