My Dogs
Each and every one of my dogs have taught me so much over the years. They have helped me grow as a trainer, handler and as a human. Every day, they are still educating me. I am better because of them. I try to live by these words ...

Maggie 10/1/2005 - 7/8/2021

"Geri" 8/1/2008 - 12/5/2022
Therapy Dog work was her thing, but she has been retired for a few years. Now, she's my full-time therapy dog! Sweet & Loving, she still has her silly moments and likes to play with Cam. Geri loves going for hikes and holding the couch down in our motorhome. She's been a great surrogate dog for all of my client's dogs that needed one thru their journey of behavior modification & training.
