Pawsitive Pets - Certified Pet Trainer - Chula Vista, CA
When I was a child, my heart was always set on one thing - a dog. The idea of an animal offering unconditional love was irresistible. My mom really helped me learn the responsibility of owning a pet, we even volunteered and fostered exotic birds when I was younger. The memories and lessons I gained forever remain with me, and they made my love for animals grow!
At the age of 16, I had the amazing opportunity to start my first job as a Martial Arts instructor. I was incredibly grateful for the opportunity and spent a fulfilling decade there. What I learned during those years was that I had a passion for teaching. I especially enjoyed working with my younger students. Their energy was infectious and they kept me on my toes, constantly challenging me to be a better instructor.
After much introspection, I realized that I could merge my two passions - animals and teaching. I found a school program that offered a course in dog training. I enrolled and in order to graduate, I had to volunteer many hours at a local animal shelter. This experience was eye-opening. I saw how many dogs were given up by their owners, when all they needed was some guidance and obedience training. It was a heartbreaking realization, but it also strengthened my resolve to make a difference.
I studied diligently, and graduated as a Certified Dog Trainer. It was a proud moment, a culmination of my childhood dreams and adult passions. Now, my mission is to help dog owners integrate their pets seamlessly into their lives, to find a balance. I believe that owning a dog should not be a chore or a burden, but a joyous part of everyday life. And with the right training, I know it's possible!
