How did you hone your craft?
Furthering education is important in any career, but especially the training world. I began my journey working with mentors, then continued through my education learning from professional trainers, attending classes and seminars, and earning credentials. I value continued education and consistently research new ways to help my clients achieve success.

Start early! It is much easier to help a puppy start out on the right paw!
What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!
I come from a family of educators. I was raised in an environment where continued education was treasured, but the ability to effectively teach others what you had learned was the ultimate goal! I use the values I learned from my family to help canines become valued companions and beloved members of the family!
