​
My background with dogs has been for about as long as I have been alive. I grew up with dogs, and held them in my heart as family for as long as I can remember. When younger, I had owned dogs that have had behavioral issues, and had to learn from professionals on how to live with those dogs. I have years of experience working with dogs that had behavioral issues of one kind or another. Whether that was due to a lack of experience on my end when I first began my journey, or because of health problems that created new issues and behaviors I had to work through, both by myself, and with those that have been working with dogs longer than I have.
Professionally, I have the experience as a Police K9 Handler. With that experience, I have had a lot of trial and error learning how to train my partner to co-exist with my family. With my job, I have also grew a passion to work with dogs of any temperament. I believe that dog reactivity and aggression has an underlined reason, not because they are a mean or aggressive animal. My hope is to help you and your pet become a team and learn to co-exist as family regardless of the hardships or level of learning you have had thus far.
