I have been with Pet Paradise since Spring of 2023 and absolutely love interacting with every pup that walks through our doors. Working here has helped me realize my dream of having a career in dog training and given me the opportunity to achieve my goals. I love filling my life with incredible people and dogs and enjoy every second when I'm able to train the dogs in our facility. I find it rewarding to see how excited the parents are when they pick up and watching the dogs leave with a totally different mentality and behavior than when they arrived.

Hello, my name is Rosa. I became a dog trainer not only out of my love for dogs but also as a way to honor my late uncle’s passion for them. With encouragement from another trainer who recognized my talents, I took the leap into training, and it’s been incredibly rewarding. My goal as a trainer is to help dogs and their owners build strong, lasting bonds through effective communication and personalized training. I’m dedicated to creating connections that truly enhance the lives of both dogs and their families.
