About Me
My name is Erin Crossman. I have always loved animals and have spent all my employed years with them. I started a job with horses when I was only 13 years old. In 2000 I started working at a smalI animal hospital learning many skills including grooming. When my first child was born I made the decision to work for myself so that I could stay home and raise my children. This is how Art of Dog has come to be.
I am a graduate of York University, graduating with a Specialized Honours degree in Visual arts. My degree was in painting and drawing but I have since transfered my education as an artist to photography in the form of animal portraits. I love being able to capture the right expression and feeling.
I got my first dog in 1997 and the rest is history as they say! I have been competing in dog sports since1999. I have trained my own dogs as well as competed in flyball, disc, agility and sheepherding. I still compete with my border collies Zephyr and Chase. My husband's rough collie Kirya completes our "pack". I have been a part time dog training instructor with Scholars in Collars since 2003.
