I got my first dog, Dax, an Australian Shepherd, in 2017. I then began volunteering at the humane society at the age of 14, and that is where my true passion for helping dogs developed.

Which increased my handling skills tremendously. As I got older I joined 4-H, working with animals every summer. Growing up, my parents bred Rottweilers and my uncle bred Australian Shepherds. I have been around animals my whole life. Since moving to Washington, I’ve attended a few seminars and even plan to entire the sport dog world soon! Training and helping owners build a strong bond with their best friends will never be a job for me, it’s a way of life.” Soon after I spent the majority of my free time training my parents dog and friends dogs for free, explaining why dogs think and behave certain ways. I spent hours reading and researching any information I could find to further my knowledge. I fell in love with learning about dog behavior and wanted to help other owners feel the joy I felt seeing how much my dog could enjoy life. We got in touch with a local trainer in the area and after he came back home we couldn’t believe his transformation. Feeling sad and alone I thought I may never be able to give my dog the life I wanted for him. I spent hours training them and playing with them but it wasn’t until my younger dog turned about two that he showed signs of reactivity towards strangers and other dogs.

As I grew older and moved away from home, I adopted two of my own dogs and they quickly became my entire personality. I spent most of my time outdoors taking my dogs wherever I went.

Having dogs at home, I saw them more than just a family pet. “I’ve lived with all kinds of pets for as long as I can remember.
