Pack LeaderI have been working with animals for five years. I stared with working, riding, and training horses. I did this for a long time. I love both horses and dogs, they are similar to dogs in the sense that they need a leader. I started as an animal caretaker at boarding/daycare facilities right out of high school. I learned more about how to communicate with dogs and how dogs communicate in a pack. While I was living on a farm I had a cattle dog puppy to train around various species of farm animals. Even though I provided the most physical exercise and mental enrichment, I wanted my puppy to have more guidance and structure. After a trainer worked with my pup, I developed a love for training my dog. My interest in canine intelligence grew, and from then on I couldn’t have been more enthusiastic about dog training!
