Animals make my soul dance

Pet care experience

Dogs are the best. I can guarantee I'll make them happy. Just ask my happy hound at home. I've also recently adopted a rabbit and have taken in a cat. I majored in Biology with an emphasis in Zoology because animals have always made me happy. Throughout the years I have volunteered at animal shelters, had internships at Brookfield Zoo and have helped organizations with rehabilitation and adoption programs. I have been working as an animal behaviorist for the past 6 years by day and a dog trainer by night for 10 years. During the day I work with a range of species focusing mostly on dogs, pigs and non-human primates. I specialize in enrichment and training strategies. Positive reinforcement is the way to go. Not only do I spend time with animals at work but I also volunteer as a dog obedience instructor at an obedience club. I help build the important bond between dogs and their humans. I can offer advice on behavioral problems or answer general questions about dogs if needed. At a young age I knew I wanted to work with animals and I've been able to make my dream come true. I want to be able to share the joy and knowledge I have about dogs with others. *I work Tuesdays-Saturday from 8-4:30pm. But if your pupper needs some company in the evening I'm your gal.*

Stephanie will provide great customer service to the families and their dogs. She has been working with animals since she was 13 and now 15 years later is an animal behaviorist. Her passion is animals and treats them with as much respect as she would any human. Stephanie is the person who you can trust to provide that care and nurture for your dog. She has a kind heart and has a love for animals like no other. She is trust worthy and a dedicated worker.
