Veterinary medicine is my first love, and still is. I have been working in Veterinary Medicine for 15+ years and currently work in a general practice in a small hometown. I have worked with animals big and small. Reptiles, small fuzzies, cats, dogs, primates and even tigers, cougars and bobcats. I have served many roles in the veterinary community and dog community alike, but shortly after I started my veterinary adventures I found myself wanting to provide more. I slowly got into other aspects of pet health like canine massage, physical conditioning, reiki, fit club instruction and canine first aid. There was a huge need for this education and I found a passion for working dogs that has stuck ever since. It was important to me that working dogs and pet dogs are the best version of themselves. All the things i've learned along the way have given me the ability to share with handlers and pet owners to continue their bond. Along the way I have worked with so many amazing trainers and mentors that paved the way for me to work with veterans and service dogs. I am still humbled and inspired at the companionship, independence and freedom these dogs can provide. Training dogs to provide a service for someone is an honor. You learn so much about what other people go through on a daily basis. Training a service dog isn't cookie cutter, it's individual and the possibilities are endless. I grew up in a military family and was raised and supported by a community of men and women that served our country. It is my mission to give back to those who gave so much to me and my family. I am forever grateful for the love and support I was shown
