About Dirk Broersma

This all started because of a little pitbull pup named Kiddo. My late wife, Susan, and I adopted a little pitbull and didn’t know much about the controversy surrounding the breed. We just wanted to train her well and show everyone that she was not a vicious dog. Someone saw how much she loved meeting people and suggested she would make a good therapy dog. We got her certified (just to prove that she was a great dog) and started doing visits to nursing homes and hospitals. We really enjoyed it and trained 6 other dogs to be therapy dogs. Soon people started asking how we trained her so we helped them get their dogs ready for certification. Then people started asking us if we could watch their dog while they were out of town, so we could pet sit for them. Many years later, I made this a full-time job. Whenever someone needs help with their dog, I try to find a solution. And it all started because of that little pitbull puppy. Kiddo passed away December 29th 2015 – she was 15 years old.
