THESE three well-
behaved dogs have
been instructed to sit
and stay until they

but in the fall she will be
teaching Thursday nights at
North Shore Neighborhood

rection and voice together.

‘*In the 18 to 20 years I’ve
worked with dogs, I’ve only

you.”’

Holowolenko teaches four
class levels, which include
Puppy Socuahvation, man

supervisor at Stanley Park’s
Children Zoo, so knows all
about the psychology of wild
animals. We have different
personalities that comple-

mother, manage children

full-time with an electronics
firm and teach dog classes

being exhausted?
