No Foolin' this month marks the 6th anniversary of Fins Animal Training being my full-time business, and the 13th anniversary of my journey into the dog training world. I wouldn't want to do anything else, and am fortunate to work in an industry I am so passionate about.

None of this would happen without all of the help I have had from many people, most of all the man in this picture, Adam Fins. Thank you.

In honor of this anniversary, I am posting the very first picture that I shared on my page way back in 2012.
