- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I started out with the love of animals at a very young age. From there, I went to school at the University of New England for Marine Biology and Animal Behavior with a focus on training marine mammals. I received my first internship at Finish Forward working with dogs and positive reinforcement! From there, I went on to intern at Oceans of Fun with seals and seal lions, Dolphins Plus with dolphins, and Theater of the Sea with sea lions, dolphins, turtles, and even sharks! After a few months, I was hired on at Theater of the Sea as a Parrot Trainer. I grew up having parrots, so this was an exciting opportunity to learn it professionally. After a few years, I moved up to the Orlando area to pursue a job at Discovery Cove in their Aviculture Dept. My Aviculture position was part-time, so I needed another job (like many others). I was hired at John K9 Dog Training. I've since moved to Full Time with John K9 and have been with the company for 2.5 years, learning balanced methods of training. And now, I'd love to start my own thing to help all of you!
