I've been interested in pets, wildlife, nature, biology and ecology my whole life.
I've been training and competing in dog "sports" for over 15 years: agility, obedience, scent-work, field, rally.
I've taught puppy classes for six years and assisted in teaching beginner obedience dog training classes too. So far during my lifetime I've had seven dogs, three cats, three birds, three lizards, and fresh and saltwater fish.
