Happy Paws
About
My goal is to help you cohabitate happy and healthy with your fury family, we want to help you understand your animals and best how to correct unwanted or dangerous behavior.
I work with Dogs/Cats of all breeds on a daily basis from managing a 20+ dog free roam pack or as a veterinary assistant. Between my two jobs I also provide advice and hands on behavior correction.
I have dedicated my life to all animals and spent the majority of my life working with them, from an early age I have found myself seeking the company of our furry friends and trying to understand them. In my professional careers I have held titles such as assistant sanctuary manager for The Heart of Idaho Animal sanctuary and was the Animal Control officer for the city of Challis, Idaho and currently work as a veterinary assistant as well as live at a Dog Boarding / Daycare facility.
Absolutely everything, this my passion and I wouldn't change it for the world. I have a soft heart for animals and because of this I spend almost every waking moment with an animal 24/7.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I like to have a call or video chat to discus the owners desired outcome and unwanted behavior, then I will take a very extensive and sometimes uncomfortable history of you, your pet and the environment. We will establish a goal and schedule a first visit, the first visit will just be be observing and taking notes and most likely asking more questions. At the end of the visit we will sit down and go over observation and what needs to be corrected and that is not limited to your animals. We will talk a game plan and I will send you a report card based on the need of your animals and how best to change the environment and the owner/animals behavior modification. I may also recommend veterinary visits to your desired veterinarian for bloodwork, medications and alterations, these can play a critical role in correcting behavior.
