At age four I knew I wanted to connect with animals, especially dogs.
My early education included working for a vet, a grooming salon, and boarding kennels. When I turned 15, I began my dog training education. Performing many tasks including care, handling and training of puppies up to 4 months, while under the guidance of a master dog trainer.
My formal education came next, working with dogs over 4 months of age to adult dogs from obedience to all types of behavior issues and problems. I also trained dogs for hunting readiness and herding. For fun and experience, showed dogs for their breed and participated in agility.
During my years as a professional dog trainer, I started a pet store business and had a master groomer instruct me in dog grooming so I could provide my customers with quality grooming services.
