Cara Achterberg- Author and Dog Rescue Advocate

Cara is an irrepressible writer, a curious cook, a lazy gardener, a loyal friend, a dog trainer in training, and an occasional cowgirl. She is also a compulsive blogger, a creative writing teacher, an almost famous novelist, and a rescue dog advocate. She will talk your ear off about processed food, growing tomatoes, Virginia wine, shelter dogs, or the puppies she is currently fostering. If you ask about her kids, I may brag a bit, as they are certainly worth bragging about.

Pup Camp with dave Shade

After serving a tour overseas fighting in the mountains of Afghanistan, he found himself alone and separated from the brotherhood forged in battle with my unit in the 82nd Airborne. When he became a civilian again, like most veterans he was lost trying to find his way in a world coping with the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress. When all seemed lost, he found solace in the most unexpected of places: A boxer puppy named Lulu.

Undoubtedly, Lulu had saved his life as she taught him how to live, love, and feel again. She healed the wounds of war (the ones you don’t see on the outside). This amazing animal had instilled in him a love for the species that made him want to help their kind. Many families and dogs lack great training, and he found I was born for this - to train dogs, create happy families and happy homes. Then, he spent 5 years training thousands of dogs.

From this, he started an online training venture that has launched recently. You can visit it a the link below.

Army Veteran to Entrepeneur

     In life, we all have encounters with multiple amazing people. In mine, I have had tons of them, especially through my uniform career. One such encounter was with a young man in Korea. He was very mature for a young guy, especially in uniform. He was always pushing for greatness. He was the Battalion Commander's driver then moved on to the Brigade. He also went from a young soldier to an NCO while in Korea. Well, he continued to hustle for the rest of his time, then transitioned out and has become a successful independent over-the-road trucker. He is an inspiration to all young people transitioning into the unknown. Have a plan and keep pushing forward.

Charles Davis Jr is a hard worker. He has been hustling since I met him and he continues to be hungry as he rolls through this life. Pay attention to his advice on here, it is awesome.
