I'm Houston Skinner, a certified kinologist with a deep love for dogs and a commitment to improving their lives. My journey as a kinologist began when I adopted my first rescue dog, who had severe behavioral issues. Through patience, understanding, and a lot of research, I was able to transform his life and mine.
