Jill has volunteered at KARE for the last two years and has recently begun working as a Lead Trainer. Jill currently teaches group classes including Puppy, Adolescent, and Adult primary classes, as well as Reactive Rover.

Jill is a force free, positive reinforcement trainer, working with people and their canine companions to build a strong foundation of communication and trust. Her goal is to find solutions to any questions regarding behavior, but her greatest reward is seeing the lasting bond that develops between people and their dogs.
