Breed: German Shepherd

What's up dog?
Harley has absolutely changed my life around. She is the first dog I have owned as an adult and she has opened my world up to new friends, hobbies and life style.
When I first got Harley I knew I needed to attend training classes as a first time owner, I have since then completely devoted myself to the world of dog training with my biggest passion being dog sports and behaviour modification.
Joining my local dog training club with Harley has been a blessing, I have made a ton of friends, jumped right into volunteering at the club as a dog training instructor as well as committee member and discovered a new world I didn't know exist.
Harley and I know travel every other weekend to compete in dog sports such as Competition Obedience, Scent Work and Rally-O.
Along the way Harley has made doggy friends who all love her and have joined us in the journey that is dog sports.
Harleys biggest personal impact is with me, before her all I did was work, had a non existent social life and was just humming by. Now I am truely happy and content!
