     KIT BREEN  
     Dog Trainer and Pet Photographer.  

     I am a certified dog trainer and a graduate
    of the Hallmark Institute of Photography.
    Always a great lover of animals, it was not  
    surprising that after pursuing vocational
    agriculture / animal science classes in high
    school, that I decided to further my education
    in two areas that allowed me to play with my
    favorite "beings"  - dogs and other 4 legged
    animals.  I  have apprenticed under a
    number of trainers, and worked as a full time
    trainer for Petsmart for a number of years. I
    have trained all sizes, ages, and breeds
    (although I personally have a love for herding
    dogs). I now combine my love for
    photography with my desire to ensure that all
    animals are understood and have the
    opportunity to make their owners happy
    and proud.  I have been a pet photographer
    for 6 years. I have worked for a number of
    companies specializing in pets, and trained
    others in the field. I now shoot for Pets
    Photography Studio, as well as my own
    private business.
Crevan

My little wanna be alpha!

Crevan is a sheltie I
adopted at 9 weeks.  
Imagine how shocked I was
when at 2 months he lifted his leg to
pee.  It was all down-hill from there!
He started guarding food bowls at 10
weeks, and the first time I flipped him
on his back - he tried to bite me.  
But fear not, this trainer is more alpha than   
Crevan.  At two years old, and with consistent  
training, he is a great little guy!  He enjoys
herding the other dogs at the dog parks and
loves to kiss people.  His cutenessworming its
way into everyone's heart.   His "Napolean"
complex has earned him an 70 lbs Pit Bull,
Tessa, for a girlfriend! He loves to go hiking,
especially with his best friend Chandler!


Update: Crevan's leg is much better and he has
                       healed fast!

Annie  

Ahh - my little "spaz"!

Annie is a shepherd/beagle/
terrier mix. She was rescued
from a shelter in  North
Carolina they day before
she was to be euthenized.  She
was tagged as "aggressive" -which
is far from the truth.  She suffered
from severe separation anxiety-caused
by 6 different owners in 5 months.  
Her energy was just "too high" and
she had no training. My little "ADD" dog has since   
stopped biting through crates and going through  
closed windows.  She is very sweet and affectionate.   
She tolerates her brother, Crevan, although she   
retains her second in command status.

  You see I am of course the alpha female in
                            our house!

stop and  look around once in a
while, you could miss it."

    Many people write and ask me "How do you
    pronounce that?" or "What does it mean?"
    Here is a little blurb about the term Namaste.

    "Translations range from the more literal "I
    humble myself to you" to the more poetic "May
    the good in me honor the good in you" and "My
    spirit bows to your spirit." Conceptually,
    speaking "namaste" pays homage to the inner
    light in all living things. "  -Lostpedia

    "Commonly written "Namaste", it is pronounced
    as "Namastay" with the first two a's as the first a
    in "America" and the ay as in "stay" -Jai Maharaj

    "The greeting "Namaste" is the divine spark in
    one person recognizing the divine spark in
    another....The Sanskrit word Namaste means 'I
    bow to the divine in you.'..'Namaste' is an East
    Indian greeting which means 'the light within me
    bows to the light within you.' In other words,
    beyond our achy bones, our tired feet and our
    multi-colored real life soap operas, lurks a
    dimension that is more than the body, the
    persona, the ego and all the 'trappings and the
    suits of woe' as Hamlet would say---a dimension
    where there isn't a 'you' and 'me' but rather a
    synergy that is more than all that, a space for
    the eternal to rest within the temporal..."

    As you can see, the word has many
    translations, only a few of which are listed
    here. For me, it is a bit of a literal translation.

    "The Spirit in me greets the spirit in you."

    I see us all as having good within us. As far
    as my training goes, I see the good in all
    pets, and strive to bring it out. As with the
    photography, I'd like to create a long lasting
    image of the wonder that is your pet. You're
    best friend.
