My name is Kirsten Langen and I am the general manager of Alpine View Pet Spa. I live with my two boys and Kevin, my partner, who all share my love for animals. I have, since I was a child, had a huge love for all animals. Dogs and cats have always been a part of my life. When I was a little girl, my sister and I found a stray yellow lab. We brought him home and begged our parents to let us keep him. Yeller was 2 years old when we found him and died when he was 16. It was the best 14 years of my life as he was the best friend anyone could ask for. After that it was only natural for me to have a dog. I started with one and now I have three. Diesel my Pit Bull Rottweiler cross is my oldest at 8, Harley a Rottweiler Kelpie cross is 7 and Chewy, the Yellow Lab, is 5. Because I had a pit bull cross in the house I spent time working with different dog trainers learning the different behaviors of dogs. I used this knowledge to train my other dogs and now offer obedience classes to others. more... See more text
