While in Pueblo, CO, Hime studied under Dog Trainer Paula Mitchell, of Animal World, in the fields of canine
behavior and obedience training.  In addition to operating Front Range K-9 Academy, she has counseled dogs
and their owners for Pet Country in Pueblo, Northwest Animal Hospital in Colorado Springs, CO & The Dog
House, a Doggy Daycare and Boarding Kennel facility located in Denver, CO.

Clients have travelled from as far away as Nebraska, Wyoming, and Kansas to work with this
highly-recommended dog trainer.

Jennifer has worked with dogs of all breeds, sizes and temperaments.  She believes in focusing on each
dog/owner relationship to tailor services that meet the needs of the individual.

Finally, Jennifer does more than train dogs for a living; she lives with dogs for her training!  She shares her
home with 8
whippets, a collie, a lab, and a schipperke, among other pets - and she bases many of the
lessons she teaches
in class on the lessons she's learned from her own dogs.  Jennifer also currently
competes in dog shows with her whippets, as well as lure coursing
, oval, and straight track racing.
