Big Wags Chicago

When I started working with dogs professionally in 2013, I thought it was the best job ever. I was outside all day and hanging with lots of cool pups. What’s not to love, right? But one thing didn’t sit right with me working for other dog walking companies, especially as I began studying dog training and behavior at FetchFind Academy. The walking companies I worked for would often turn down dogs that were considered difficult or that had some behavior issues. But I knew that the skills I had as a trainer would allow me to help those dogs and their owners that might not have other options. That, folks, is why I decided to start Big Wags Chicago in 2019. I wanted to combine my love of walking dogs with my love of training and create a sort of one-stop shop. Whether it’s walking a reactive dog who’s been turned away by other companies or providing custom-tailored, private training, I want to help all the quirky, challenging dogs and their people. In addition to my knowledge of dog behavior and training, I’m certified in canine first aid and CPR through DogSafe. Thank you all for being a part of this journey with me.
