Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with 15+ years of combined experience at shelters, doggy daycares, dog sitting, board & train, group classes, and private lessons. I have experience training and caring for MANY different types of breeds that have behavioral issues such as separation anxiety, aggression, nervous dogs, hyper dogs, dogs with medical needs, you name it! I’m keenly sensitive to fulfilling all the needs of every dog while intimately getting to know who they are. I’m highly educated and trained in understanding dog behavior which allows me to be acutely aware of any changes that may need to be addressed with owners during my stay. I have grown up caring for, and continue to care for, just about every animal you can imagine. From horses to cows, birds and arachnids, reptiles and fish, to Great Dane's and feisty feral kitties! I have a complete obsession with dogs (especially large and giant breeds), I'm essentially your neighborhood crazy dog lady. I’ve had the privilege of being the go-to dog sitter for families for years. The absolute best part of this gig is becoming a part of the family. Through dog sitting, I’ve raised and grieved doggos that aren’t my own ❤️🐶 Each dog reserves a special spot in my heart and the fulfillment I get from the love bugs you share is astronomical. If you're looking for a sitter that can offer a higher level of care, I would love to have a meet and greet with you and your furry friend! SPECIAL EXPERIENCE: - Sitting, walking, and training dogs, including puppies, extra large breeds, working dogs, and dogs with extreme behavioral challenges - Positive reinforcement training and experience in e-collar training - Separation anxiety - Leash Reactivity - Stranger Danger - Aggression
