Dogs are my full-time career and lifelong passion. I specialize in creating low-stress, individualized care using Fear Free and positive reinforcement methods, with a special interest in fearful, reactive, and special-needs dogs. My experience includes: * Fear Free Boarding & Daycare: 6-hour course and exam covering canine body language, facility design, safe dog interactions and play, positive reinforcement training, behavior, physical health and wellness, and medication administration to minimize fear, anxiety, and stress. * Victoria Stilwell Academy Dog Training Fundamentals graduate (positive reinforcement). * American Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR Certified. * 3+ years volunteering with Dakin Humane Society, specializing in fearful, reactive, and behaviorally complex dogs. * Assisting with positive reinforcement group classes at Tails U Win. * 5 Years of fostering rescue dogs. * Experienced in training, enrichment, behavior modification, wellness monitoring, and medication administration, including oral medications and injections. * Specialized experience working with deaf dogs using visual communication and American Sign Language (ASL). I also share my life with a deaf, reactive special-needs dog who has earned her Canine Good Citizen (CGC) title and participates in agility, Fast CAT, Happy Ratters, and other dog sports. * Licensed wildlife rehabilitator, providing medical care and rehabilitation for injured and orphaned wildlife. * Dedicated to caring for one family at a time, allowing every dog to receive individualized attention in a calm, low-stress environment.
