Hi,
The success of 4 Paws for Ability is certainly attributed to the determination, motivation and leadership of Karen Shirk. She has the uncanny ability to see opportunity and build on need-with-need.
Three years into the development of 4 Paws, Karen contacted Jeremy Dulebohn, the young student trainer who had worked with Karen and Ben in the early days of her recovery.
Jeremy had worked with National Canine and later opened his own training business. He was intrigued by the 4 Paws concept, and he was eager to accept the position of training director for the agency. Jeremy brought a new level of professional training for the dogs at 4 Paws. Business continued to boom.
Karen found a 100-year-old house and grounds in Xenia, Ohio, and moved the operation there. Soon she bought an abandoned VFW building with 2 acres of adjoining property, and the training center and kennels were expanded. The primary 4 Paws facility remains at the Xenia location today. Dogs are housed and trained at the old VFW post. The training ring is an old parquet dance floor complete with a mirror disco ball.
