JD Platt
I have been passionate and raised around animals my entire 55 years of life. I also was raised around a multitude of sports. My dream of doing something you love & working with animals or sports became a reality one fateful day in 1996 and in 1988 becoming a professional athlete. Since then I've achieved a tremendous amount of success raising & training over 24 dogs and competing in sports around the world., Check out more below of my adventurous life story.

Brief Biography
I was born on a military base in NC & lived the Marine Corps family life traveling until the age of seven. My family then moved to Bend, OR. in 1979. I was raised around a tremendous amount of sports, animals & a passion to do something in life I love. My life story is a reflection of my career now raising, training & entertaining millions of people around the USA along with boarding, training & exercising dogs. I feel blessed every single day that my hard work, dedication & passion has led me to being an entrepreneur with dogs & sports. I'm happily married & enjoy traveling throughout the country putting smiles on faces with my talented group of trick dogs and helping to train, care for & exercise dogs around Central Oregon, As my favorite saying goes ~ You can't wait till life isn't hard anymore before you decide to be happy...!!!
