Hello
mini Biography ;)
After 20+year career in coaching human in business, I am now a Professional Dog Trainer. Dog training is as much training the human as the dog. I am skilled in human psychology and mastered canine behavior.
I am certified and continue to pursue tougher certifications. You are in good hands (references as proof). ♥
