As far back as Krystal can remember she has had a huge love for dogs and at the persuasive age of 5 she convinced her parents that they needed to add a four legged member to their family. Her first dog was a black lab puppy that she named Delilah, after a dog from one of her favorite childhood movies. She accompanied her mom to puppy obedience classes which lead to her tagging along with aunts, uncles, and grandparents in the future. 

 

Fast forward 19 years and while trying to figure her path in life, Krystal realized how happy she was around dogs. She started off by assisting  classes in 2019 and, as well as training her own dogs, she's gained enough experience to join Tails in our Day Training Programs.

 

Currently she is a proud dog mom to a 5 year old Border Collie, Kona. Although she'd love doing sports with her, Kona unfortunately has a bad hip, so instead she continues working on obedience, coming up with new tricks, & taking lots of hikes. Krystal cannot wait to continue to learn, and grow through dog training. Krystal also regularly fosters dogs and puppies for a local rescue.
