Jaime Larsen
Dog Trainer
The CSS team was lucky enough to have Jaime join our Training Department in January of 2022. Born and raised in Omaha, NE, Jaime craved more of an active lifestyle, so she traveled the country out of a Sprinter van for 3 years with her now Husband Ben and 2 dogs, Deja and Nahli.

Jaime got her feet wet in the Pet Care Industry while working as an assistant trainer for an experienced breeding kennel as well as working as a dog groomer’s assistant in California. Jaime has worked with and helped countless families achieve a more satisfying and rewarding relationship with their dogs. Being a certified dog trainer has enabled her to lead many dog and handler teams into becoming a Canine Good Citizen. When she isn’t training dogs at CSS she enjoys hobbies such as hiking and camping with her own dogs, snowboarding, running and biking.
