My private dog sitting includes up to two hours of daily, individualized behavioral training, integrated naturally into your dog’s routine. Unlike isolated training sessions in unfamiliar environments, where dogs are often overstimulated or stressed, this approach works within everyday life. As dogs settle into a calm, predictable routine, learning becomes natural, sustainable, and far more effective. This integrated format allows for deeper behavioral change and, in practice, delivers significantly more value than traditional hourly training sessions. Daily training focuses on core foundations such as: - emotional regulation and stress stabilization - attention and engagement - calm obedience and responsiveness - impulse control - confidence in everyday situations All of this is included in the cost of boarding, no separate training fees, sessions, or add-ons. All work is adapted to your dog’s age, temperament, energy level, and emotional state. I’m a professional dog trainer and canine behavior specialist with over 16 years of experience working with animals. I provide private, one-on-one care only, one dog at a time, allowing me to fully focus on your dog’s behavior, routine, and well-being. My approach is rooted in canine psychology and body language. I pay close attention to early stress signals and adjust the environment and interactions before tension builds. This makes my care especially suitable for anxious, sensitive, senior, or behaviorally complex dogs. I’m experienced in administering medications and injections and following detailed care instructions for dogs requiring medical support. Dogs in my care stay in a calm, low-stimulation, secure environment. Walks are always done on leash or harness, routines are predictable, and no force-based methods or crates are used. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates and clear communication throughout your dog’s stay.
