Growing up in the small town of Delmar, Ashley knew from a young age that she wanted to work with animals. That lifelong dream became a reality in the spring of 2020 when she joined Off Leash K9 Training Delaware—a job she proudly calls her dream come true. As Ashley often says, “Some days, it still doesn’t feel real that I get to do something I have such a strong passion for.”While training to become an OLK9 Trainer, Ashley had the chance to work with her own dog, Nova, and experience firsthand the incredible transformation that comes with proper obedience training. Now, she can take Nova anywhere without stress or worry—a freedom she loves helping other families achieve.For Ashley, seeing owners experience that same hassle-free, joyful connection with their dogs is what fuels her passion every single day. She also loves spending time with her family, taking her pups swimming, and relaxing with a good movie or show (and, of course, some popcorn!).
