Nip/bite history, reactive, anxious/nervous, high energy, lack of social skills or other challenges? Would you like help jumpstarting behavior rehabiliation? Hi, I’m a certified, knowledgeable, long-time dog professional; I specialize in anxiety, fear, aggression etc and provide therapeutic overnight care in my home. We're located 10+ minutes east of Blaine on a fully fenced 22+ acre property that includes a spacious rancher, 1/2 acre enclosed back yard, large front field & 10 acres of peaceful, picturesque forest with trails throughout. Guests enjoy the confidence building, anxiety-reducing benefits of exercising, exploring & socializing in the fresh air with new/old friends in a large, diverse area for 1-2hrs, 1-2X/day – truly dog heaven! I gained the knowledge, experience & confidence for successfully introducing, integrating & rehabilitating a variety of breeds with significant behavior issues from many years of client consults & fostering many difficult cases for AHS. I incorporate calm, consistent leadership & communication, lots of exercise, rules/limits & reward (treats, praise, touch/massage). I'm skilled at reading subtle cues/body language, preventing and/or redirecting escalating behaviors & nurturing a relaxed and balanced state in dogs - regardless of the behavior or trigger. I show clients how to do the same, how to recognize and address issues early on, before they become problematic. I have a step by step process for introducing even the socially challenged/inexperienced and love watching it all unfold as guests meet & move with the pack, exploring the field & woods with plenty of space for all to feel comfortable - it makes for many heartwarming moments captured on daily picture/video updates! Our own much loved crew Yuba, Benny & Cora are a friendly, fun-loving bunch who know how/when to role model calm & good behavior, initiate play and/or give space to those who need it. Whether your dog has issues, high energy or you'd just love for them to have top quality, personalized care with lots of exercise and socialization, this may be the perfect fit! All breeds, ages, energy levels welcome. Ideal guests are in good/excellent health (Rx free), housetrained, spayed/neutered and able to exercise (at their own pace) minimum 2hrs/day. I don't mind feeding a custom diet (raw etc) or health supplements. $90/night for 1st time guests with a history of dog aggression (I don't book other guests simultaneously), includes a 1-2 hr consult at pickup. Regular rates ($70/night) for all non dog-aggressive guests. The property is also available as a private use, off-leash play area for dogs via Sniffspot (1 hr - $15/dog, 50% off for each additional dog) **PLEASE NOTE** Rover charges an additional 5-7% of booking total, not to exceed $25
