Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the three years you all have given me in changing the lives of disabled folks and their service dogs.
While I don't plan to entirely step away from my role as a service dog trainer, Mystic Mutts will be closing for new clients. I will be retaining evening and weekend availability for 1-2 ongoing private lesson clients per week, and may accept limited referrals from other trainers and folks close to me, but my time as a full-time, public-facing dog trainer is coming to a close as markets shift and my own needs change. I'm in contact with all existing clients to continue or finish out their programs.
I will be retaining my AKC Evaluator registration and IACP membership, and will remain active in the sport and service dog communities with my personal dogs as well as active here with educational and advocacy content. So please take this as a "see you later", not a "goodbye".
I'm sad to be leaving this step in my journey behind, but enthusiastic to see what the future holds. Thank you all!
