Reactive dog? No problem!

Pet care experience

With years of diverse pet care experience under my belt, I have honed my skills in various dog training disciplines, including protection, service dog training, tracking, agility, and herding. I have extensive experience with reactive and fearful dogs, and ensure that all dogs receive the specialized care they deserve. Please note your dogs triggers, and favorite rewards prior to my visit, so I can keep your pup as happy and comfortable as possible!

Alex was very accommodating and made sure my dog was comfortable in her home. There were good updates and she clearly knew what she was doing.

Alex has done a phenomenal dog with my puppy. He’s a huge puller, and over all just a happy, exuberant pup. She is happy to watch and walk him, and has done a phenomenal job teaching him manners using positive reinforcement

Safety, trust & environment

In my home, I strive to create a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for all pets in my care. My friendly, well-trained dog is always eager to provide companionship and playtime for your pets, creating a positive and social atmosphere. However, if a visiting dog prefers solitude or requires more personal space, I have designated areas to keep them separate while still ensuring they receive the individualized attention and care they need. Rest assured, your pet's well-being, happiness, and specific requirements are my top priority.

Information Alex V. would like to know about your pet

If your dog is reactive, please note the triggers so we can work to avoid them. Also, let me know if your dog has any separation anxiety so I can work to keep them as safe and as calm as possible

A typical day

As someone with my own high energy dog, we are very active and would love to take your dog along. In the morning, we often go for a long walk around depot park and do a bit of training. They get some outside playtime midday depending on the weather, and at night we usually go to a fenced area for off leash time and training!

As I am currently taking time off work to study for the MCAT, so I have a flexible and open schedule. This allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the exceptional service and companionship they deserve. With my extensive pet care experience, you can trust that your pets will be in capable and loving hands during this period.
