Lick 5 - Tequila Cover

featured member Dairy Dell

My career with animals came about totally by accident. I was raised on a farm and animals were my life growing up, but at 18 I couldn’t wait to leave for college and the big city. So I did. I had a career, a good ed- ucation and a good job -- many of them , actually. The only thing con- stant was my love of dogs and the training I found came so easily with my own animals and those of my friends. One weekend, someone I didn’t know asked for my help and I thought, “Maybe I should charge them something.” Well, one thing led to another and like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, I found my true calling had been at my fingertips all along. Like it or not, I was a dog trainer! Since I was also knowledge- able about dogs and their health and needs, my Dairydell training business naturally expanded into boarding and daycare. That was 25 years ago and I haven’t looked back.
