I'm a certified dog trainer
Pet care experience
I have spent my entire life working with dogs, and I am so lucky to have chosen this career. I just instantaneously connected with dogs as a child, and never stopped loving them. I have extensive training and behavior modification experience spanning 15 years. I stay up to date on the science behind animal learning so that I can make the best decisions for dogs in my care. Every dog I interact with will get some level of training. I use 100% force-free methods to keep training fun, effective and safe. My favorite clients are usually the "naughty" ones. I love to see a hard-to-handle hellion turn into a pleasant walking buddy. I can also trim nails, do some light grooming and administer Insulin or sub-cutaneous fluids. I carry all of my own equipment, so my clients never have to worry about leaving out the right leash. If you're looking for a safe, regular, dependable and dynamic pet caretaker, you've found the right person.
Reviews
Thank you Bailey for taking care of our furbaby. Loved the picture and video you sent.
Everything was good.
I have seen Bailey work with multiple dogs, and all her interactions were so great and positive. The pup absolutely loves her, and even listen betters after spending time with her. She is my first choice when it comes to my own pets, and my first choice whenever somebody asks me for a recommendation. There is nobody I would trust more to care for my dog.
Bailey is great with dogs. She very responsible and always does what is best for the dog. She has dogs of her own and also works with rescue dogs so there isn't a dog personality she hasn't seen before.
About Bailey S.

Skills
Information Bailey S. would like to know about your pet
I use treats on my walks - does your dog have any food allergies; are there any treats your dog will do ANYTHING to obtain? Are there any activities your dog loves or hates? To keep your dog safe, I need to know if your dog has any fears (strangers, other dogs, loud noises, etc.).
A typical day
I stay up to date on the science of animal learning to keep things fun and engaging for the dogs too! I build enrichment activities into my interactions to help keep their brains sharp and burn off some of that mental energy. For some dogs, this means learning tricks, "urban agility," playing fetch, or doing nose-work and scent-based activities. I will never force a dog to participate in an activity they don't like - who's walk is this anyway? My goal is keep your pet's mind healthy while we get some physical exercise.
