.
Dogs have been a huge part of my life since childhood. I feel like I always had an affinity for the dogs I've met. I more or less fell into dog training after college and getting a job walking dogs. I really enjoyed and seemingly had a knack for walking some of the more challenging dogs and my interest in the scientific world of dogs ended up as a perfect combination. My interest in reading and science and my affinity towards animals working with dogs just made sense for me..
Have empathy, which is crucial for successful Board and train training. Additionally, Dory Rosati recommends:
Have fun with your dog!for improving your dog’s behavior in Boston.
