How Much Can I Make? with Mirav Ozeri
For People Who Love Dogs - Dog Trainer

This episode Lisa joins Mirav to talk about her work as a professional dog trainer. After years in a corporate job, Lisa decided to go out on a limb and pursue her lifelong passion to work with dogs. 

Beginning as a volunteer in shelters, Lisa made it her mission to learn and observe as much as she could about dog behaviors by working hands-on with animals. As she gained more experience, she began to work with dogs as a trainer herself while continuously honing her skills. For Lisa, training dogs is a labor of love–she even takes dogs into her home for weeks at a time to work with them. Listen to Lisa's story and learn how you could be a dog trainer too!
