New Teenage Pack Leader From The UK!

[tilly]

Hi everyone!

I'm 15 and live in the UK. I have 2 dogs; one 4 year old Labradoodle (you can call her a mutt, mongrel - whatever! ) called Tilly and a Bchon Frise pup called Betsy.

I got Tilly when I was 11 and had no clue about dog behaviour & training. She developed fear aggression towards other dogs; so I researched dog behaviour and came across Neil and Cesar Millan. I implimented their techiques and she has gotten 98% better!

I now do dog walking for a few people with aggressive dogs. They can't believe I can control them!
I love rehabillitating dogs and want to become a dog behaviourist when I leave school.

I'm the only kid at my school who gets up at 6am before school to walk my dogs. As soon as I come home we do another 3 mile walk!!
I am the only person in the house who looks after my dogs. I feed them, groom them, train them, play with them etc. My parents do nothing - and yet I wouldn't have it any other way!!
Most of the other kids think I'm weird; but hay - no one's perfect.

Just thought I'd introduce myself!

Hi Tilly, welcome to the forum!

Other kids can think you're weird, but I think it's awesome that you're so committed to dogs.

Glad to have you here. I think you'll find this to be a great resource for what you're doing and where you're trying to go.
