My love for dogs is unmatched. My house is called "Wooferville" for a very good reason. My home is a dog friendly safe home made for fun. My schedule is often flexible though calendars do not allow for this to be readily visible. Please don't let a low Rover score scare you off. I have outside clients I also service quite regularly and many unique Training jobs that come up at the last minute. I book appointment around daily life and my Rover Schedule. I believe only in Positive reinforcement of healthy dog behaviors. For nearly all my life I have been a Dog Trainer, then in 1996 I began specializing in Working Service Dogs for all types of disabilities. There is nothing better than a gentle trained Happy Dog, a win-win situation for everyone. Yes, your dog is encouraged and allowed to be a dog and dig holes in the dirt if it so chooses yet come home clean when they are done. IF they are Furniture Creatures I can and will work with that. Radiant has her spot on the sofa. IF you prefer they do not develop this habit I will do my best to prevent it. I am used to large dogs and well versed in breed specific issues but am also willing to learn new information from each and every animal that crosses my threshold. I know dogs inside and out. They know it too and get my heart and constant attention. If your dog needs socialization I am less than 2 minutes from Palmer Park, great walking and fun playing time to change the scenery should you desire it. I can address all kinds of issues your dog has and spot one before it becomes a problem. Feel free to ask me questions. I am willing to work with you on training issues the way you would like them to act. I only ask that you supply treats if that is how you choose to train your dog since that is not how Radiant has been trained. I'd also like your dog to stay on it's favorite brands so this feels like a home away from home. In my home dogs have boundaries because my dog has boundaries but there is no forcefulness other than the declaration that I run my home not the dogs; they just have free run in my home with structure so problems do not occur. I will have many questions for you so that you can feel secure that your dog is having the very best time possible while with me. Feel free to ask me questions anytime so you know your dog has found a great place you feel comfortable with. I am also willing to send you video's on a smart phone should you desire it. I expect to have all dog's shots up to date and licenses, as well as Bordetella in order to keep everyone healthy. Should you need me to pick them up or deliver them we can also discuss this as I am open to the possibilities and familiar with the concept of sudden emergencies that happen and you need an extra hand.
