Kim has over 40 years professional experience working with dogs and other animals, with the majority of that time spent in the animal sheltering and control field. She retired in 2014 and decided to use her knowledge and experience to help animal care professionals through educational workshops that address the emotional impact of their jobs, and to provide dog training to the community in an effort help keep dogs out of our animal shelters.

Kim continues to further her education in dog training and behavior by attending workshops, seminars, webinars and conferences on a regular basis.
