Dakota grew up with dogs, but it wasn't until she started volunteering with rescues in Los Angeles that she discovered her passion for working with them. While trying to break into the film industry she filled her free time volunteering, starting with simple walks and working up to basic obedience classes with under-socialized dogs. She started a job at a doggy daycare, which also sold high quality pet food and products. This sparked an interest in pet nutrition. Combining her love of education and animals she started at Prairie Dog in spring 2016, where she now gets to talk to pet parents about their fur babies and learn from her awesome co-workers every day. In her free time she enjoys hanging out with her handsome mutts Fenris and Jake and exploring her new home of Spokane.
Kim has been in the pet care industry, starting her career in veterinary medicine, since 1988 and has been a professional dog trainer/instructor with Diamonds in the Ruff since 1998. Kim is the program coordinator for the Pawsitive Dog Training – Prison Program at Airway Heights Corrections Center, which is one of her greatest joys. In 2009 she joined the PDog team and loves working with the rest of the staff and all of the clients.
