Hello there dog lover! I’m watson. I started out volunteering in shelters which inspired me to work with dogs full time. I studied dog training at Animal Behavior College in 2017 and have been training and teaching classes ever since. I love giving second chances to older dogs, which is why I took specialized training for shelter dogs. I have rescued multiple older dogs in the last 5 years, but right now i have 2 boys. Elvis helps me with socializing other dogs. He’s the best non reactive dog I could have ever asked for. Especially considering I found him tied to a tree where his owners had left him to die. Starving to death and unloved, i don’t think he had ever been indoors before I found him 3yrs ago. He’s now fat and happy, very loved and pretty much fully adjusted to indoor life. It took a while and lots of work, but he’s my best buddy now.
I’ve had Hudson Hawk for about a year and a half now. At 8yrs old he was found wandering the woods. I hate to see an older dog in a shelter, so I knew he was coming home with me. After adopting him we discovered some trauma from his past. In the last year, Hudson has gone from being unable to stand someone touching his neck or collar, to being completely comfortable as people love on him. He may always have some fear responses, but he’s now a trusting loved part of our family.
Getting the best from your dog can be lots of work, but it’s worth every second. I hope to be there to help your dog on his journey – whether he’s just a baby learning and experiencing the world, or is in the golden years and needs a little help.
