Behavior & animal care specialist

Pet care experience

I am a multi-certified professional dog trainer and owner of Ness Dog Behavior and Training, with nearly a decade of experience handling and caring for dogs, cats and other animals of all sizes, breeds and temperaments. I have worked extensively at one of the largest animal shelters in the country with dogs who are fearful, reactive towards other dogs and animals, and who may exhibit other behavior challenges, using humane, positive reinforcement training methods. My other experience includes managing a dog boarding facility, working at an animal sanctuary, fostering dogs, and regularly volunteering at animal shelters. Spending time with animals is my passion! I am also certified in pet first aid by the American Red Cross. I look forward to meeting your furry loved one!

Ashley was amazing to work with! This was the first time we left our dog overnight and Ashley did a wonderful job with providing frequent updates with pictures as well! We felt at ease knowing Sweeney was comfortable, happy, and relaxed while we were away! Would 100% book with Ashley again and recommend her to others!!

I was very happy with Ashley. It was the first time I used her and everything went so well. She came by my house before the drop in visit to get familiar with everything and the dogs and on the day of the visit everything went well too. The dogs were happy, that's the most important thing. I will be using Ashley again in future.

Ashley was fantastic: professional, communicative, and great with our shy cat. We look forward to working with her in the future.

Information Ashley N. would like to know about your pet

I have no specific breed preferences -- I love all animals! Please just let me know of any behavioral issues or other special needs that require extra attention.

A typical day

Mental enrichment is just as important as physical exercise! I make sure your dog has lots of time to sniff all the good smells on walks, gets lots of playtime in, and enjoys some cuddles on the couch afterwards.
