With over 15 years of animal care and rescue experience, Jennifer's passion for animals began as a young child chasing chickens and hugging goats in her childhood farm home in Cuba. After begging for a Macaw as a child, she was eventually entrusted, instead, with the care of a beautiful Chow chow mix dog, Rinty. It was bonding with that large, rambunctious puppy that led to her interest in dog training. Several years later, the hospitalization of her sick Quaker parrot sparked an interest in animal medicine and nutrition. This led Jennifer to complete an internship at the Palm Beach Zoo to broaden her knowledge of husbandry and animal training. Since then she has been taking courses and attending conferences every year to expand her knowledge and stay up to date with the most current positive animal training techniques and the most current information on avian nutrition & welfare.

(A. de Saint-Exupéry).      |

"I strongly believe we have an obligation to provide the best care possible for the animals we choose to bring into our lives. We all fall short because we're not experts and even experts don't always agree, but it's our responsibility to educate ourselves on the best standard of care and provide that for the animals we keep. Sadly many of us acquire animals with the best intentions but not the right information. I want to show people how to make the most of their relationship with their beloved pets so that both human and animal thrive together. Often that is done through training - a common language between us and the animal kingdom."  - Jennifer P.
