Dana M.
Dana is the owner of Fuzzy Buddy's, fulfilling a childhood dream she
didn't even know she had!  Her dog Mango inspired her to throw aside
her life as an artist and devote her life to the dogs back in January
2000.  She established City Critters, a dog walking and training
service.  She took over ownership of Fuzzy Buddy's in September
2005.  She is obsessively interested in dog training and how dogs
learn. She loves reading about dogs, going to seminars to learn more
about dogs, playing with dogs and training dogs. She is a Certified Pet
Dog Trainer, and teaches dog training classes at Fuzzy Buddy's. She
shares her life with Tigger the Border Collie/Rottie mix, Dillon and
Finley the human puppies, and a patient husband named Steve.

Sara
Sara has been at Fuzzy Buddy's since July 2003, and she learns
something new every day that she comes to work. Dogs are her life,
and it is rare to find her without at least one by her side. She lives with
Tucker, a Border Collie mix, and often has foster dogs too. Her
passions include pet training, pet nutrition, and pet sitting, and she is
working toward becoming a Certified Pet Dog Trainer. She is always on
the lookout for new information to enrich her knowledge of dogs and dog
behavior. Her favorite thing about working with dogs is the opportunity to
watch them problem solve their way to a goal, whether it is getting the
ball thrown, finding their way to a toy that rolled under a couch, or
discovering the quickest way to get a treat. Above all, she enjoys
watching dogs enjoy themselves.

Aimee
Hi, I'm Aimee.  I was born and raised in Seattle.  I recently moved back
to Seattle after living in Hawaii for the last few years.  Although I miss
Hawaii, I'm happy to be back in Seattle.  I'm also very happy to be
working at Fuzzy Buddy's because I love dogs, was raised with canine
family members and have always had a special bond with dogs.  My
first word was my family dog's name.  I am a proud parent of a mixed
breed puppy name Kane.  I've been working at Fuzzy Buddy's since
November 2007.

Dana W.
Dana W. was born and raised in a small town in rural Alaska.  Her
childhood was full of canine playmates.  She called Blackie, an
enormous black lab mix, her best friend throughout all of her school
years.  Back in her hometown, Dana W. worked at a little pet store
and volunteered at her local animal shelter.  She always hoped that
someday she could find a career working with animals, especially
dogs.  In 2007, she moved to Seattle with her boyfriend, Troy, and their
furbaby, a pug named Popcorn.  Luckily, after some searching, she
eventually found her dream doggie job at Fuzzy Buddy's Dog Daycare.
Dana W. started at Fuzzy Buddy's in March 2008 and has loved every
fun, crazy, fur-filled day of play since.  She is currently studying and
working to become a Certified Pet Dog Trainer.

Mikelle
I am currently a student at the UW slowly chipping away at an
Economics degree which I will probably never use, but it is interesting
and fun stuff to learn.  I have always loved being around dogs.  Currently
I live with my boyfriend's dog Kunen, a mix who loves playing with
everyone including our cat.  I want to learn as much as I can about dog
training while I am here so I can eventually become a certified dog
trainer, but for right now I am just excited to finally have a job that I love! 
 

Emily
Emily has been a dog's best friend at Fuzzy Buddy's since March
2008.  When she is not entertaining the dogs at Fuzzy Buddy's, Emily
is being entertained by her two Japanese Chins, Chuchi and Nina. 

Dace
Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, Dace has strayed far
and wide before finally being adopted by the Fuzzy Buddy's pack,
where he gets paid to play with dogs by day. By night, he apprentices
his way toward a long and rewarding career as a certified dog trainer.
Dace is very treat-motivated, and loves scratches behind the ears and
long walks (off-leash). When he isn't at FB, he's volunteering at the
King County Humane Society, studying up on dog psychology, making
music, and building community.
