CJ has been teaching puppies and adult dogs obedience and good manners for 6 years. In 2017, she earned a degree in Psychology at George Mason University.

She has experience teaching puppy kindergarten, pet obedience group and private lessons, and service dog training. Puppy socialization and trick training are her favorite!
