Pack Family

Arija Fontanilla

From a young age I loved all animals - but especially horses. I worked with, rode, and trained horses from a very young age. When I graduated high school I started working as an animal caretaker at boarding/daycare facilities. For four years I learned how to provide quality care for many dogs and cats. As a handler in dog playgroup I observed how the dogs communicated with each other in a pack.

While I was living on a farm I had a cattle puppy to train around various species of farm animals. Although I provided physical exercise and mental enrichment, I wanted my puppy to have training that involved more guidance and structure. After a trainer worked with my pup, I developed a love for training my dog. From then on I couldn’t have been more enthusiastic about dog training!

I had a baby in April of 2021. In 2022 I decided to start working again. Although I had been dog walking for a year prior, I officially invested into operating a business in August of 2022. Becoming an entrepreneur has changed my life. I get to make a living doing what I love!

I am so appreciative for the opportunity to fulfill dogs & help their families as well.
