I have always shown a strong interest in training dogs ever since I was a child, I trained my first family dog, Indy, an english shepherd mix the basics of sit and down when i was around the age of 6. When I turned 17 I adopted a dog from a local shelter named Barron, he was such a great family dog! However, on walks I noticed that he was barking at people. I could not afford a trainer and none of them offered training plans or said they could fix him in one training session which I know is not possible. This is why I like to be flexible with my clients! He was reactive so this is where i started learning and took matters into my own hands and over a period of a few months he was no longer reactive. One year later I got my second dog Bueller, who i saw for sale on Facebook. He was from a farm in Iowa and under socialized, when I got him home, you can guess it, I noticed he was also reactive to people. After a period of time I was able to get him to be neutral to people. One year later I decided I wanted to get into IGP formerly known as Schutzhund which is a German sport for German shepherds. My two dogs did not have the correct temperament for it so I opted to buy from a local reputable breeder and that is how I ended up with Bauer who is successful in the sport and is titled to IGP2, he is my most social dog. In between owning these dogs I worked at two shelters and worked under another trainer to learn more knowledge on training pet dogs.
