Why I Love What I Do
When asked how I learned to train dogs, I will tell you Memphis Red was my most influential teacher.
The short story started at Kent Animal Shelter. Weighing in at 55lbs, emaciated, full of worms, parasites and fury, Memphis Red was three days away from euthanasia. He had failed. He was not wired to be the fighting dog, someone wanted him to be. He was a repeat offender with Animal Control and Kent Animal Shelter, getting adopted, running away and going stray again and again. He was ferocious and intimidating to handle.
What happened next was not an outcome anyone had predicted for him. A life full of accomplishments, like being a two time blue ribbon Puget Sound Dock Dog, a demonstration dog, a training partner that was patient and gentle with children, other dogs and his kitty cat.
This is the reason, that I focus on the sheltered, fostered and adopted families in our region.
