How did you meet Cyn?
I met Cyn when I was in search of a service dog. She chose my good boy for me….Ollie.
How long have you had dogs and what do you love most about them?
My family has had dogs my entire life. I love that dogs instinctually bond with humans. Their loyalty is never in question.
How long have you been helping with training and what do you love most about it?
I’ve been training with the program for about 1-1/2 years, and I love watching dog handlers/owners build confidence in themselves, and how that contributes to the success of the dogs. As trainers in the program, you can actually see the dog and handler become confident over time. It’s amazing.
What other dog related activities do you do?
At the moment, the program and my dog Ollie, are my only focus. Ollie is working towards graduating from the Gunny’s Ride Service Dog program. Although, I’ve taken interest in getting Ollie involved in dock diving after he completes his certifications.
