San Francisco based Dog Trainer, Jasmine Kelem, AKA @thegoldenmal is a trainer and self proclaimed fur mom to Finley, a Golden Retriever and service dog, Stinky, a Belgian Malinois who is now working with the police force, and a little Mali puppy Wasabi who will be trained for protection sports



We chatted about service dogs, how it works, the qualifications, Emotional Support Animals, and flying with a puppy.
