Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs and even when I did not have dogs of my own. As an adult I found a way to be around them - by volunteering at local animal shelters, dog walking and dog sitting. Now my husband and I are the proud owners of two - Dewie, the extra large Goldendoodle and Louise, the Hurricane Katrina Hound.
I found Stacy and Who's Walking Who through our first dog Dewie. Dewie is an extremely smart guy who came with a suitcase packed full of issues. I worked with Stacy both in classes and individual appointments and watched Dewie shed much of his anxiety and aggression and become a happier and better adjusted dog. And I discovered how much I loved working with him and watching him progress. It was so fun for both of us. Our second dog, Louise, is a hurricane Katrina rescue that Stacy brought back from New Orleans. She is the calmer of the two despite all she has been through.
For the past ten years I have been performing and producing events with the performance group Red Dive as well as producing commercial photo shoots. Last year Dewie and I were reocurring guest stars on Animal Planet's K9 Karma. I am excited to be working with all kinds of dogs now that I am training with Who's Walking Who and find just as much joy and satisfaction as I do training my own two dogs.
