I live for dogs!! When I graduated college, I sought haven in dog walking, and didn't look back. Walking and training dogs very quickly became passions, and my goal is to become a professional dog trainer. I'm more than happy to practice with your doggo(s), upon request, and am just as content snuggling, walking, and watching movies with them. Before college, I worked as a pet sitter for six years, and regularly cared for neighbors' active dogs. I'm comfortable with all breeds I've cared for, including Pitties, Huskies, Ridgebacks, and German Shepherds. We always had a blast! Post-college, I walked dogs for two years and practiced leash-training with private clients, before adopting my own Pittie/Rottie/Potato mix, Ember, who is the love of my life. She's nearly two years old and loves other dogs, and though she can be quite forward in her play-style, she is also submissive and a total sweetheart. Boarded dogs can also be housed and walked/played with separately; I have a separate studio adjacent to my home where dogs can have downtime and/or sleep. Just let me know your preference. I have experience administering insulin shots to diabetic dogs and cats, and feel comfortable administering other medications, giving baths, etc. I live on several acres of wooded hillside, with a creek, paths, and opportunity for adventure galore. My yard is large enough for 3-4 dogs to play happily and safely. **Please note that because the property sits on a steep grade, this should be taken into consideration before booking dogs with hip dysplasia, arthritis, or other conditions. There is a small agility course on a flat, unfenced area that I am happy to use with all willing participants. I have several long leashes that can be used to ensure their safety. If you'd like some training help or refreshers, feel free to let me know where you'd like to see improvement and I can put my amateur skills and keen intuition to the test! I only use positive reinforcement training with clients' dogs. I'm excited to expand my network of four-legged friends with Rover!
