Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I have a love for animals and making sure they are well cared for. I worked in a zoo for several years and know about behavior modification, basic animal training and practical care. I've been lucky enough to get to do training sessions with dogs, whales, dolphins, sea lions and horses. I've also done enrichment with reptiles and chinchillas and ferrets. I also volunteer as an aquarist at the McWane Science Center in downtown Birmingham. I help care for, clean up after and feed fish, sharks and reptiles at the center. Who doesn't love playing with animals? Training and enriching an animal's life is basically playing games with them. I love seeing the "light bulb" turn on when an animal gets the hang of a new concept! I love working with owners to help them better enrich their fur-child's lives. It makes everyone's life better when they have a happy and healthy animal.

Joel has been a lifesaver for our family! We had a lady move in with two dogs that were having a very hard time adjusting to all the changes. He spent a lot of time giving us tools to help them adjust to their new home. Even made emergency visits when they were acting up. Joel is our very own dog whisperer.
