My name is Lauren and I'm a dog mom to 2 wonderful and amazing girls: Zoe and Phoenix and cat mom to 3 mischief makers: Hurley, Pandora and Lilly. I have created pages for each furkid and you can find them over on the right hand side.
I've been interested in animals since I was a child. Growing up we had dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, guinea pigs, rats and mice. I got my first dog when I was 15 and I trained him myself. We did obedience, agility and some trick training. I've always felt like animals were more family than the humans in my family. I got my first official grooming job at 18 as a bather. I then went on to groom school and became and All Breed Pet Groomer at 19. Dogs are pretty much my whole life. I can talk your ear off for hours about dogs and probably will if you meet me in person. :P
I love training my dogs. We do a lot of trick training and are currently working on skills to compete in Rally Obedience. With training I use primarily Positive Reinforcement and Force Free Methods. We don't use any old fashion techniques. My dogs love their training time. They want to work with me because it's fun. I post a lot of YouTube videos of their training sessions.
I also enjoying hiking and photography.
I'm married to a very tolerant and helpful man. He is not as into the dogs as I am but he puts up with it pretty well.
Thanks for stopping by my blog! Your girls are cute, and I am always looking for training tips, so look forward to reading more of your blog!
