Meet the Business Owner: Kerry S.

Together, with my wife Lisa, we have over 35 years of experience! Lisa began her animal career over 30 years ago as a head vet tech for 8 years. She opened “Blackwolf Kennels”, aka, northlands finest canine care facility which she operated solely for 20 years. During the years she has received several certifications with high honors in the animal field, including mentor trainer through the college. Certifications include vet tech, CPR, canine massage, grooming, basic & advanced obedience, behavioral modification, mentor trainer, CGC evaluator and canine service work. As for me, I have always had a passion in communicating with dogs in a positive way and believe your best friend should obey you out of respect and not fear. I also have received certifications through FEMA and CPR. A great passion of mine was working my “Rosie Jo” in Dock Dogs and other dock diving clubs. We received titles in the junior and senior class and almost received Masters before I retired from the scene.
