Experienced Animal Handler: Training, Maintaining, Loving.
|
I’ve owned many different breeds, from border collies, rescue terriers (with many issues!), to large bernese mountain dogs. I’ve raised each dog from puppyhood and trained them with either professional guidance or independently. I have trained dogs to be used in countryside sports (such as scouting, foul hunting), and have worked alongide animals my entire life, having spent my childhood and early adulthood working as a farmhand. In the last five years, I worked as an animal handler at a petting zoo, handling small mammals, larger farm animals like donkeys, ponies, alpaca, kune-kune pigs, and in this role I was responsible for feeding, grooming, maintaining, exercising and medicating the animals in my care.
But most importantly, I adore animals. I’m currently studying at University and am aware from contact with my beloved pets and farm animals. I’m looking to fill my days with the wonders that animals provide and reapply my passion for animal handling and care whilst away from home.
