Jenny Magill, CPDT-KA

Jenny has always felt a powerful bond with and compassion for animals. During childhood, her mother's Native American heritage and love of nature rubbed off at an early age, and she enjoyed growing up with fish, frogs, butterfly hatcheries, dogs, and a rat. She has had the privilege of sharing her home - and heart - over the years with many of her favorite canine species, including a Field Spaniel (Tristan), Border Collie (Kady), Labrador/hound/mutt mix (Dozer), APBT/Boxer mix (Teddy), and Staffordshire Terrier mix (Abe).

Jenny earned bachelor's degrees from Vanderbilt University in Education and History, and she spent the next five years working in PR with nonprofits focused on poverty alleviation, child advocacy, and microfinance. In 2008, she adopted a tiny abandoned 3-week-old puppy, and she became an active volunteer and foster parent for a local rescue organization. She found that she had a talent successfully working with dogs with abuse histories and behavioral challenges, and her interest in dog training began to grow.

Since then, Jenny has worked at the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago (the city's oldest and largest animal shelter); at Petco as a customer adviser and head dog trainer; and in starting and building her own training business in Chicago and then for several years in Pasadena, CA, and then Houston, TX. She and her family happily returned to Pasadena in August 2018, and she is very excited to work with both old and new clients and continue building her knowledge and experience in the Greater Los Angeles area. In her free time, Jenny enjoys spending time with her family, including her husband Mike, daughter Juliet, and 10-year-old four-legged child, Dozer. You can usually find them out hiking and exploring the beautiful mountain trails around Pasadena and LA.

Jenny holds a CPDT-KA certification from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT - www.ccpdt.org). She is also a certified AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and a Certified Evaluator for Therapy Pets Unlimited.
