We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Indigo Will. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with INDIGO below.
INDIGO, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. Do you think your parents have had a meaningful impact on you and your journey?
Born in Yonkers, New York, I was raised by my mother, Jamillah Shabazz. At age 10, she allowed me to get my first dog, a young boxer pup I named Julie. My mom was fair and firm, handling all financial responsibilities for the dog while I was tasked with the canine care and training. Despite my initial lack of knowledge and commitment, my mom ultimately gave Julie away when I failed to properly train and care for her, teaching me a powerful lesson in responsibility and accountability. This experience ignited a determination in me to learn about dog training, care, and communication. By age 13 I asked my mom for another chance with a new dog, and to my surprise, she agreed. This pivotal moment connected me to my passion, eventually shaping my career in professional dog training.
INDIGO, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
