Walk & Train with me!!
Pet care experience
Hello my name is Alexandra and ive been in the pet industry for 10 years. I began my journey with Doggie daycares, then started walking dogs for different companies. My last job I worked at a training facility for dogs who were aggressive and had multiple bite histories. It was a last resort placement for these pups because if they didnt get bettet they would be put to sleep. It was a very important and rewarding job to work there. I was trained in the area of postive reinforcement. I also had a dog behaviorist train me in the area of touch reinforcement along with leash corrections. Ive done puppy raising. Which is where normally the dog will stay with me for a week and I either potty train or teach basic commands. Altogether ive worked with a ton of great dogs, some handicap(Blind or deaf), aggressive, insulin dependant dogs, leash reactive; but safety was always my main focus and concern. If your dog needs help with certain behaviors Id be willing to help. Im not certified as a dog trainer yet but still have a lot of experience in the field .Im currently taking dog training courses. I have a pet certified cpr certificate. Originally I was headed towards nursing school. I come from a family of doctors. At the last minute I decided to switch careers because of my strong passion for animals.Thank you for taking the time to read. I know pet owners dont always get an opportunity to meet in person, so i wanted to write as much as I could so you can get an understanding of my experience and history. Hope to meet you & your pup soon.
Reviews
Alexandra was wonderful handling my dog. I have a large husky who is easily excited and can sometimes be too much to handle for other walkers I have had, but Alex was playful and comfortable with my precious pup. She was always timely for the walks and was easy to reach by phone if there were ever any changes that needed to be made. When asked to take photos and go to certain locations, she accommodated without hesitation. I would recommend Alexandra to other dog owners and friends.
