Her innate ability to understand and direct the dogs is what makes our daycare a harmonious, friendly and successful operation.

In her time at Mad City Dog Training it has become very clear that she made the right decision to become a Veterinary Technician and work in the animal care field. In addition to playing with Bettie, Jessica also enjoys painting and photography.
