Autumn has always felt a deep connection to the earth and all animal people. Growing up in an adventurous and outdoorsy family meant that Autumn spent a lot of time communing with nature. As a child, she had many small pets (a cat, guinea pigs, hamsters, bunnies) but was never allowed a dog. This didn't stop her from becoming the neighborhood pet sitter and befriending everyone else's dogs though!
This passion has only grown with time, but Autumn still has not been able to adopt a dog of their own. Their wife is severely allergic to all animals (oh the irony!) so they continue to befriend everyone else's pets, including co-parenting a rat pack with their girlfriend. Joining the team at Dog Adventures Northwest is the next big step towards becoming a dog trainer and welcoming more furry friends into their life. Autumn's educational background is in psychology and she is interested in how human learning and behavior parallels animal training strategies.
Music, dance, and photography are a few of Autumn's other passions, stemming from a deep curiosity about the connections between all things. Movement and intentional time with the earth are valuable to all, and Autumn is dedicated to helping our animal friends live more freely!
