About Karissa

22 years old
Starting at 14 I dog sat an elderly greyhound and provided her with medications, and food when needed as well as assisted her in standing and walking when necessary. At 15 I started a cooperative education program at a boarding/daycare kennel for dogs and cats which later turned into my job where I am still currently employed. There I learnt more handling techniques, about more medications, and proper cleaning protocols for a high traffic dog kennel. I am well versed in dog body language and love to provide mental enrichment as well as physical exercise. On top of my work experience, I have been doing dog training with my own dogs as well as families dogs for almost 10 years, plus I have been doing agility with my personal dog for about 9 years! I have also been accepted into the Karen Pryor Academy in their “Dog Trainer Professional” program, and am doing courses with Holistic Animal Studies by Angel’s Animals! I have also ridden and worked around horses for about 10 years total!
