I have cared for animals my whole life growing up. Although I am not a licensed pet trainer I am able to potty train and train to do simple tricks such as paw, sit, speak, wait and have them hold a treat on top of their nose. I love energetic pups and don't mind working with older dogs that have special needs and attention.
