What year did you begin serving pets?

2005

How did you hone your craft?

Lots of experience volunteering time to offer enrichment in local animals shelters, working with newly adopted puppies and rescue dogs, and continuing my education each year to keep up with the changing science of animal behavior.

What tip would you give pet parents for working with animals that you've learned as a pro?

Consent tests - Give the animal space to decide if they are comfortable interacting with you. Don't reach out for them let them come to you to interact with them. Head turning away, lip licking, sniffing the ground, all things that turn their focus away from you means "please don't enter my safety bubble."

What is one thing you want pet parents to know about you? It can be whatev-fur you'd like!

Continuing education is very important to me. I want to know the most up to date information in learning theory and practices from the most reliable sources in the industry. There are new studies in behavior and animal health out every year and I don't want to rely on old data.
