Hi There,

 

I’m Lindsey Caliga the Owner of Running Paws LLc. My love for dogs started out as begging my mom for at 10 years old;Kelly ended up being a husky mix. After her first dog I didn’t know the next dog would change my life.

 

Calli was the unicorn dog. She was trained to be a service dog for me helping with medical alerting.This is where my curiosity for training started. Once starting high school at Newton South I started working at BYOD Dog wash immediately when I could start; Yes, there is an age minimum to my disbelief . Calli came to the shop and came to college with me and trained to be a Caine Good Citizen. Throughout college I had many experiences to closely watch how other professional trainers made dog succeed.I had great experiences shadowing  under local trainers, police dog trainers and guide dogs trainers . 

 

Once done with school, graduating from Ithaca College and receiving  a degree in Exercise Science, I returned to BYOD as Assistant Manager. I started shifting to dog walking and to my disbelief it has become my full time job and company. 

 

Working with Dogs is never actually working. I never worked a day since I started Running Paws. I love being able to meet lovely people in my community and help them connect on a deeper level with their dogs.
