I grew up with dogs and cats. I've always wanted to become a vet since I was young, but as I got older, I realized that it wasn't an option for me. I've decided that I want to become a dog trainer. I figured I could start with dog-sitting, dog-walking. I want to start gaining knowledge on animals in general.
