Meet Angelica

Angelica started High Paw Walks out of her love for dogs and her dream of working with them every day.

She completed the Dog Training & Behavior – Basics Pro program at CATCH Canine Trainers Academy and keeps learning. Along the way, the dogs have taught her lessons, too: to be more loving and more patient.
