My soul dog Kacey
We have many pivotal moments in life that direct our path. One of mine occurred at the SPCA where I volunteered for many years. I was at the front desk helping out when a mother walked in with her teenager and a mixed brown dog. The dog sat there quietly while the mother filled out the paperwork and the teenager sobbed on her shoulder. The dog had chewed one too many things. When they left, I asked the receptionist why she didn’t suggest a crate. She faced me so I could see straight into her tired eyes and before she could answer, I said “never mind, I get it.” That day, I resolved to do what shelters don’t have the resources to do. Educate owners to have well-mannered dogs before they end up at a shelter. I was already training dogs so I focused on educating myself more fervently in that field and eventually grew to a full time business.
It is difficult to be grateful to have faced such circumstances but I am on path helping others thanks to that family. I hope that one dog at a time, I continue to make a difference so that families can enjoy a wonderful relationship with their dogs, be informed of resources, and enjoy the peace of commitment.
