Chris Rozmiarek
Meet Chris!
Chris has always had an affinity for the animal world, having grown up on a farm in rural western Nebraska with her “pack” of three dogs and plethora of barn cats. She relocated to eastern Nebraska for college, where she studied biology with the intention of pursuing veterinary medicine. After school, Chris spent nearly seven years working as a veterinary assistant here in Lincoln, where she sharpened her communication skills with humans and animals alike. She helped educate in handling, reading body language, and basic health practices to benefit clients and their companions. Of the many concerns that walked through the clinic door, one consistent theme stuck out; the number of clients who simply wanted to better their relationship with their furry friend, and so she felt a career change was calling her.
Chris has since joined our team with the goal of improving pet owners ability to connect with their canine companions by understanding the “want” and “needs” of their dogs and providing the tools necessary for their relationships to blossom. Her strengths lie in basic obedience, and her goal is to continue educating the public on proper handling and intervention methods of behavioral cases using balanced training techniques.
Michelle Quiñones
Meet Michelle!
Growing up in Montana surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes, Michelle found her calling early. From horses to cats to pigeons – and of course, dogs – she developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and a strong foundation in training.
After a brief detour down another career path, Michelle was led back to the animal world when she rescued a Belgian Malinois with significant behavioral challenges. Helping him heal reignited her lifelong passion and set her firmly on the path of professional dog training.
Michelle went on to spend several years at a premier board & train facility, where she specialized in rehabilitating aggressive dogs and training service animals. Over the course of her career, she has worked with more than 500 dogs – from Papillon puppies to Cane Corsos with bite records, and everything in between.
Now part of the Kenl Inn team, Michelle brings her experience, insight, and compassionate approach to every dog and handler she works with. She’s a strong advocate for balanced training methods, and her focus is on empowering owners to confidently lead their dogs through the challenges of the human world – building confident handlers, and even better companions.
