About 

​EXPERIENCE 

I am an expert dog handler and have cared for and walked my own dogs for over 25 years.
My real experience was gained from 2014 - 2020 walking every kind of dog imaginable at PAWS Chicago.
At PAWS I was a level 3 dog handler caring for the most challenging dogs. I also participated in feeding, clicker training (Karen Pryor Certified), cleaning dog suites, and many other duties.
I was entrusted to work with a few special needs dogs providing physical therapy for their recovery.
Over the 6 years I accumulated over 3,700 hours of volunteer experience.
I also love to train dogs and use positive reinforcement methods like Clicker Training. As a certified clicker trainer, I love teaching dogs how to interact with other dogs and people while also working on the basics.
I am also familiar with various dog walking equipment.
PAWS Volunteer of The Year award in 2016 which was a heartfelt honor..
