Jennifer Kroll
Trainer/ Office Manager
ABC Certified Dog Trainer and CGC Evaluator
Jennifer has always freely shared her home with a wide variety of canine breeds. Many of these have been rescue dogs with behavioral problems or special needs. Also, while working with a Pit-bull Rescue group in New York, she has helped to foster and re-train dogs for adoption.
Since Jennifer’s lifelong dream was to become a professional dog trainer, she decided to take her experience and love of dogs to the next level. She attended and graduated from the Animal Behavior College as a certified dog trainer. She now teaches puppy, beginner and intermediate pet dog training classes and offers private lessons with Pets Behave. Since dogs with behavior issues have a special place in Jennifer’s heart, she is working as an apprentice with her mentor, Debbie Revell, studying the treatment of dog behavior problems. She feels that many of these dogs are misunderstood, lack proper training, and all too often end up in shelters.
Jennifer actively pursues continuing education with additional courses and seminars. Her goal is to become a certified dog behavior consultant and help people and their dogs enjoy a happy and harmonious life together.
Using her prior work experience, Jennifer is also the Office Manager at Pets Behave. She lives with her son, Jarrett, two Chinese crested Powder Puffs, Kiki & Ranger, and Border Collie Puppy, Blaze.
