All of my years of experience working with dogs comes from owning them, working with them in a professional environment (grooming, dog daycares/boarding facilities and veterinary offices) and have acquired a lifetime of experience observing and working hands on with my father and mother who are some of the best canine behaviorists in the business! I have been holding a leash almost as long as I have been walking and caring for our own canine crew for as long as I can remember. I have met and handled dogs of all breeds, sizes, temperaments and skill levels. I have been trained to read canine body language and handle fearful or aggressive dogs humanely and safely. In addition to my behavioral experience, I also have experience as a dog groomer which allows me to offer nail trimming and ear cleaning services. I am currently a stay at home mom to my two wonderful boys who are in school 8am - 3pm Monday thru Friday which allows me to dedicate that time to my clients but I am also available weekends and weeknights. Locks and doors are always double checked upon departure as well as before and after walks. I always check for loose or malfunctioning collars/ leashes prior to exiting the home. I never introduce a dog I’m walking to another strange dog and I never ever ever take a dog off leash outside (even with an owners permission!)
