Who Am I: Hi, my name is Geryah Dingle. I started training dogs in 2017 when I decided to make my passion a reality. At the time, I purchased my first subscription for Adobe CC and began filming, editing, and posting training and pet photography videos with my GSD, Disney, on my YouTube channel: Dingle Days. I train dogs and teach people in order to enable pets to best share in our lives.
