Fresh Start
Forty-three years ago, Karin aquired her first dog. She has been working with animals ever since. She was employed for 17 years as a State Humane Officer for the Marin Humane Society, lived and worked at an animal hospital as a night attendant for 18 years and for a year, worked at one of the best known kennels in the Bay Area.
Karin realized she wanted to create a different environment for dogs which allowed for personalized attention and socialization.
Additionally, she wanted to provide the animals with a more natural boarding environment rather than locking them into concrete kennels for the duration of their stay.
Karin founded Fresh Start Dog Training in 1997, incorporating a proven love for and logical approach to training dogs. Her initial business not only provided group puppy lessons and private, one-on-one lessons with owners and their dogs but also offered clients the combined service of dog training with boarding in her home.
In 2006, Fresh Start Dog Training expanded in response to numerous requests from clients to formally include general boarding (i.e. boarding without training) at Karin’s home. Fresh Start now provides unique family style home care and boarding accommodations for canine companions (per availability).
