| My Story: About 11 years ago my husband and I were experiencing what experts call the empty nest syndrome. We decided what better way to fill the void...4 legged children...the rest was history...we were hooked !!! Naturally we could not have just one dog. Two would be awesome as they would keep each other company. Of course no one told us that two would mean double the training and double the trouble, not knowing anything about training dogs. Having spent 30 years in Professional Nursing as a Critical Care Nurse, and Management as Director of Nursing and Nurse Educator, obtaining a Master's Degree in Health Care Administration, and raising a child to become a wonderful and successful young woman, I never imagined that owning dogs could be more challenging than all that! Oh was I ever wrong !!! OK...so I just needed a basic puppy training class and my dogs would be miraculous wonder dogs... As you might guess, I soon realized that WE were the problem and what I needed was to train myself. After all we were now committed to caring for these precious family members and this was a lifetime commitment. So...I gave up my full time nursing and started my own consulting home business to focus my time on pursuing dog training. After completing a 9 month comprehensive curriculum through Animal Behavior College, which included an intensive hands-on externship, I graduated as a Certified Dog Trainer. The journey had begun and grew into a second home dog training business ALL 4 PAWS. |
