Leigh Nieto
With DTC USA since: 2022
Background
Leigh joined the DTCUSA team to spend more time with dogs, and she enjoys getting to know their different personalities. Since the start of the pandemic, she has been spending more time with foster dogs, and discovered how much joy they can bring.
Leigh grew up on a farm in the country with all kinds of animals, including dogs, but considered herself a cat person until she was 18 and got her first dog Nolie. Nolie helped her understand the special connection a person can have with a dog and how it can be one of the most rewarding relationships a person can have.
Where
Leigh lives near downtown Raleigh in a bungalow with a fenced in yard with room to romp and play. She has two dogs and a cat at home.
- Ronan, a goofy, lovable German Shepherd who is always looking for new friends to play with.
- Violet, a vivacious Pomeranian who thinks she’s Leigh’s personal assistant and does her best to keep everyone in line.
- Lizzie, a chunky calico cat who loves laid back dogs but knows when to keep her distance
When not spending time with her animals, Leigh loves watching old movies, gardening, and handy work around the house.

- Continuing Education Trainer I

- House training
Basic Obedience
