Six Questions: Deanna Nickels

Deanna

What is your occupation?
I recently left my occupation of 20 years as a Safety Consultant to pursue a career in dog training. I am currently enrolled in the Animal Behavior College Certification program. My volunteer work at O.C. helped me to find my passion. Along with the certification program I am continuing hands on learning through my O.C. volunteer work and providing enrichment and training to shelter dogs. I also have two young boys that keep me very busy.

How long have you been volunteering, and in what volunteer positions?

I have been volunteering at O.C. for three years as a dog trainer, assisting with dog evaluations and occasionally a dog handler at adoption events.
