Name

Raven

Position at Tucker Pup's:

Dog Handler

Other current dog profession:

I am a dog walker/sitter for friends and family. I'm also an amateur dog trainer.

Prior professional dog experience:

I have fostered, trained, walked, dog sat, and cared for dogs for 8 years now.

My pets:

I've previously owned a boxer and two chihuahuas.

Training taken:

I have not had professional training but had guidance from friends who are professional trainers, I've also researched training tips and have been able to confidently teach most dogs basic tricks and commands.

Favorite breeds:

Boxers, Pomskies, black labs, and Bernese mountain dogs

Favorite activities:

I really enjoy hosting music events, going to dog parks, playing arcade games, and eating food.

Future career goals:

I really enjoy animal care, particularly with dogs. I'm hoping that through working for a daycare I can learn enough from observing and being hands on that eventually I'll know exactly what I'd like to do in animal care. Another career goal outside of animal care is to host music/art events either in my own DIY space or throughout many neighborhoods in Chicago.

Other interests:

I enjoy singing and performing. I also love to learn new things and am constantly researching and reading books about a variety of things that interest me. Currently I'm studying hip hop's origins and its impact on music and social dynamics in America.

Graduated from:

CIC Northtown Academy
