Dogs and animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I train dogs professionally in obedience, agility, and tricks. I also work in a canine rehab center doing hydrotherapy.

I currently am a judge in training. Looking forward to my first trial in AKC FastCat.

45 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
