Dog training as hobby

I adopted a dog during a pandemic. She is 16 months old female dog swiss shepherd with a little husky. She is free soul and very wild tho was difficult to train dog. I committed the same way how do with my clients and I had great success. The initial reason to start training her was so my partner can walk her too without the dog pulling her much. This is how dog training became my hobby. Check Instagram @train_nana_calik9
