Seeing the devolution of news, Risa took her experience and leadership to a marketing role with the CNN Networks. During that time, there were periods where she thought, "I am going to leave and become a dog trainer." Instead, Risa moved to Turner's entertainment division, leading marketing and sales for TBS Atlanta, Turner South, Peachtree TV and Braves baseball. The irony, after moving to Portland, Oregon to be with family and to raise her two boys, the General Manager of a local Unleashed store asked her to become a dog trainer. With George O'Malley as an inspiration and her own family passionate about dogs, Risa trained and taught lessons during her spare time on weekends. Now, inspired by students and their families, she welcomes you all to join her in this positive and satisfying bonding experience with your family friend. Thank you all for making a quiet dream become a rewarding reality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59796c6b725e255e16d8beca/1501609881172-L3R4LLZ0V4CLNXWH21HU/Help-Puppy-Training-Now Dog-training-portland https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59796c6b725e255e16d8beca/1505502379645-SRKZF2NB6MLZ5NR39CVR/home-dog-training Dog-training-portland - Private Coaching Photo by {artist}/{collectionName} / Getty Images https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59796c6b725e255e16d8beca/1505502518664-0V7E2ND2W6HXTNRTEEYU/practice-dog-obedience Dog-training-portland - Walk with George’s Friends!
