I'm a very experienced veterinary assistant looking for a full time position as a professional dog trainer. I have over 15 years experience in veterinary medicine assisting CVT's and Veterinarians. Animal behavior has always been an interest of mine and I would love to learn how to teach and educate owners about animal behavior.
