I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. I spent approximately 6 years developing my own style of training, though I do not have any professional certifications. I do tend to favor bigger dogs and "restricted breeds" (dumb labeling), but I love animals and will care for any and all sizes and breeds. I know that your pet is your baby, and therefore I will treat them as my baby, too. I currently have one dog at home. Her name is Mocha, she is 11 years old, and she is a boxer-lab mix. We adopted her at a few weeks old, she was a rescue, and she is beautifully behaved and incredibly energetic! I have surprised so many people when I tell them she is 11 - you would never guess! If your goal is to also try to do some training alongside appointments, or to get your pet more in shape or healthy, I absolutely agree with you and will work with you to accomplish this. I do work average daily hours during the week, and I very rarely work odd hours (nights or weekends).
