🐾 Professional Dog Walker & Trainer | 14+ Years Animal Experience Hi! I’m Antonia, and animals have been my passion for as long as I can remember. I’ve been working with animals since I was 10 years old, and that passion has grown into 14+ years of hands-on experience in veterinary medicine and animal care. I’m a compassionate, responsible, outgoing, and dependable person who truly believes every dog deserves patience, understanding, exercise, structure, and lots of love. I don’t just see your dog as a client — I treat every dog I work with like family. ❤️ 🐶 Dog Training Experience I have 3+ years of hands-on dog training experience and have worked with dogs with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and behavioral challenges. I have experience working on: * Basic obedience and manners * Leash training and loose-leash walking * Puppy training * Socialization * Jumping, pulling, and unwanted behaviors * Reactivity * Fear and confidence building * Behavior challenges and aggression I’m also continuing my education to become a professional dog trainer, because I truly love learning about canine behavior and finding ways to help dogs and their owners build a better relationship. My approach is centered around patience, consistency, communication, and positive reinforcement. Every dog is different, so I take the time to understand what works best for each individual dog. 🦮 Dog Walking I have 11+ years of experience walking and caring for dogs, along with my extensive veterinary background. I understand that a walk is about more than simply getting your dog from point A to point B. I want your dog to come home feeling happy, exercised, mentally stimulated, and confident. Whether your pup needs a structured walk, extra exercise, help with leash manners, or simply some one-on-one attention during the day, I’m here to help! I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to dedicate plenty of time to dog walking and training throughout the day. ❤️ Why Choose Me? With my background in veterinary medicine, animal behavior, dog training, and years of hands-on experience, I’m comfortable working with dogs of many different ages, breeds, energy levels, and personalities. Most importantly, I genuinely LOVE what I do. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities, and I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in experienced and caring hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 Please feel free to reach out with any questions. I’d love to learn about your dog, their personality, their routine, and what you’re hoping to accomplish through walking or training!
