      Caroline is excited to work with dog owners in Asheville, as she explains.

      “I couldn’t ask for a more ideal location and community to work with pet dogs than Asheville. Asheville is one of the top dog-friendly cities in the country. From restaurants and breweries to countless hiking trails, dog owners can take their dogs almost everywhere with them.

      Taking your dog into public spaces can be stimulating and exciting for your furry friend, but it can also be challenging. I look forward to taking on those challenges with you to build a better canine community in Asheville and  the surrounding areas.”
