Carol Saunders, Owner

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 â€‹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 CareCarol 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.

Kira Wallace, Daycare Trainer

Kira attended Western Governors University, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in elementary education. Kira has always loved teaching humans and animals! ​

 

Kira lives with her husband and their 8-year-old daughter. They have two rough collies: Rana and Rosie. Both dogs love attending daycare with all of their pals at Positive Pooches! They also live with a kitty named Pancake (who is very jealous that her canine sisters get to go to daycare!)
