It has been a lifelong dream of mine to work with and train service animals. I was ten years old when I first saw a working team in action. I was mesmerized as I watched them maneuver through a building with low ceilings and walls that seemed to jut out unexpectedly. The skill of the dog navigating spaces and height that were unfamiliar was astonishing. They skillfully approached overhead beams and found their way under stairway passages, uncovering areas that the handler was unaware of. My curiosity was piqued, and thus began my life long journey into dog training.
