My journey with dogs began when I was just 7 years old, inspired by my uncle, who worked as a veterinary technician assistant. He introduced me to the world of animal care, teaching me how to hold dogs for vaccines, administer oral medications, and handle stressed or anxious dogs with patience and confidence. These early experiences sparked a deep connection with animals and a dream of becoming a veterinarian.

During this time, I also discovered a natural talent for training dogs. While helping my uncle, I began teaching basic commands like sit, down, and stay. One of his dogs, Buckshot, excelled with calm and focused behavior, while another, Wishbone, presented a challenge with her excitable pulling on walks. Determined to help, I taught myself loose-leash walking techniques—a pivotal moment that deepened my passion for understanding and improving canine behavior.
Fulfilling a Journey
At 20, I joined a pet store with enthusiasm, eager to expand my knowledge and gain new experiences. While there, I realized that my true passion lay in working directly with dogs—helping them and their owners build stronger, happier relationships. This discovery was a turning point, inspiring me to focus on training and behavior.
America is a dog-loving nation in which over 65 million households own at least one dog, making our furry friends the most popular pet by a considerable distance.
