Pet care experience
I've been seriously taking care of dogs for the last 15 years of my life. I'm experienced with a broad range of dogs in temperament, size, breed and health/ability. I have a confident and calm demeanor and have spent a lot of time building trust with more nervous dogs. My house has a very large fenced yard and I regularly go for hour+ walks at nearby Priest Point Park. I have a year and a half old Australian Shepherd/Cattle dog mix who would love to meet your pup(s) if they like other dogs. I'm not a dog trainer, but I am well versed in understanding reinforcement training and love to encourage positive behavior in pups with fun activity. If you have specific training requests, I'd love to help maintain consistency!
Reviews
Aletheia is a responsible dog ally. She understands dog behavior and makes appropriate choices do to that knowledge. She certainly can play with dogs, phyically and mentally simulating games. She incorperates tricks and commands into play times to help general dog obedience. Aletheia sents up good boundries with dogs. When its play time its play time when its done its done. Aletheia can manage control over the dog but still have the most friendliest of demeanor. To speak about Aletheia's perspective on dog training and overall dog behavior theory, Aletheia and I have talked for hours about positive reinforcement training, how to set a dog up to secseed, 'its your choice' games, and boosting dogs confidence. My pup Reed loves seeing Aletheia. Reed just wiggles his Aussie butt around with a big smile on his face when he glaces over at Aletheia.
Aletheia is an excellent dog caregiver. At work she has an awesome rapport with both the dogs and owners that visit our workplace. I can tell the dog owners are at ease with Aletheia as she demonstrates how knowledgeable she is very quickly. Dogs are relaxed and playful around her, and she is very careful to read their moment to moment needs. I’m always delighted to have Aletheia spend time with my 14 year old Collie, because I’m confident that Aletheia can give her the a safe and fun experience.
