    This is Finnley my 4-year-old Goldendoodle and he has influenced my life more than I could have ever imagined. He introduced me to the dog training world and I started an account (@finnley.doodle) on Instagram, where we built a large platform and made many connections and inspired other dog trainers my age. This interest in dog training has opened up more opportunities and has landed me an amazing job where I have gained lots of experience. He also inspired me to start my own business (Finnley's Tugs) on Etsy, selling dog toys and accessories out of recycled t-shirt material.
