Carol has always been surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes.  At her first opportunity to work with animals, she took it and never looked back. After working at several dog daycares ​Carol became a certified dog trainer and is now the owner/head dog trainer of Positive Pooches.

​

Carol earned a CTC (Certificate in Training and Counseling) from the prestigious dog training school, The Academy for Dog Trainers.  She also holds multiple certificates from organizations such as the Pet Professional Guild, Fear Free Pets and Professional Animal Care. Carol attended Southern Oregon University, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in behavior, and a Bachelor’s degree in Art. She is always attending conferences and webinars to further her knowledge of pet care and training.

Outside of the daycare Carol lives with her husband Matt. They have two dogs: Winck, a Corgi, and Volt, a Beagle/Chihuahua mix. They also have three cats: Micro, Tess, and Newt.
