Heidi has an amazing animal presence. She has been an equestrian since a child and a lifetime lover of dogs. Specifically, she helped me introduce a dog that I inherited to my two dogs at home. She saw something in his personality before I did and she gave me the confidence that I needed to make the introduction and subsequent successful integration into my home. Also, during her schooling for her graduate degree in animal studies she had to choose a dog in a shelter to spend time with …. She chose a dog in the shelter where I worked that many of my own volunteers couldn’t get close to… In no time flat her calm energy had given this dog just what she needed to relax and enjoy the visit.
