On this episode, I got to talk to a major dog lover! I thought everyone might like to hear from someone who’s a little different than my regular guests. This dog mom is making a big impact in the lives of dogs through her work in the veterinary field, as a groomer, dog sitter and now a trainer! The biggest takeaway I hope you get from this episode is to take chances and be open minded about where your career path is headed - as long as it is somehow related to dogs, of course!  You don’t always need a fancy degree or decades of experience, you can pursue your dreams just like today’s guest is!
