On an day to day basis, I am an outgoing individual ready to have a great day everyday. I strive on helping people reconnect with their dog. My greatest joy in my job is helping people and dogs come together as a team. I do not believe in building a relationship out of fear because perfect love casts out fear. It is when we can learn to understand one another through love and not fear is where the true connection begins between people and their canine companions.
