Growing up, Griselda always wanted to work with dogs. This childhood dream would become her life’s mission as she grew up and entered the pet industry. At the age of 18, Griselda began her first job at a small pet retailer that offered dog training sessions for the local community. Since then, Griselda has spent 7 years working in pet retail, boarding, and daycare spaces. These years of experience helped to foster her love for animals and her interest in dog psychology and behavior. Pursuing this passion, in 2022 Griselda earned her dog training certificate CDTK through Catch! Dog Trainer Academy. Committing herself to working with dogs regardless of their behavioral challenges, Griselda also received her dog aggression certification through Michael Shikashio’s dog aggression master class in 2024. In addition to her training certifications, Griselda also holds a First Aid and CPR certification through Catch! Dog Trainer Academy as well as Pet Nutrition Coach through North American Veterinary Community.
