I was blessed to get a dog very early in life and that set me up to want a career working with them.  They are fascinating animals and wonderful companions.

Children and dogs are a natural combination as you can see here with my grandson, Daniel on the cover of My New Bern Magazine.

Families with children are encouraged to take our classes.  Dogs can be playmates, companions and trusted confidants for your children.  Dogs never lie and they don't give away secrets.
