Building bonds & happiness each day
Pet care experience
I am a lifelong pet parent and have been training dogs using positive reinforcement methods for a living as a company employee for the past 9 years. During that time, I have also walked and taken care of many clients' dogs and cats. Now I am recently retired and am going out on my own to continue the career that I love! I have devoted my time to positive training and taking care of all ages and breeds of dogs from young puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats. If you need someone to walk and check in on your babies while you're at work , I am happy to do that. If you're looking for training for your young puppy or dog on your schedule, that will work! I have a solid background in pet nutrition and health and am happy to advise on pet needs and deal with any special health needs your pet has.
Reviews
Barbara was great with our pups and took the time to give us updates daily! She made sure they were comfortable and their own space to play and sleep. Our pups enjoyed their time there!
Oliver had a great time with Barbara she is a dog lover. This was our first time leaving him with someone. It was so nice to know he was in good hands. She texted us daily pictures and updates it was just perfect. We were able to relax and enjoy our time. Oliver is still an energetic puppy and needs redirection at times, so we were really grateful for Barbara having him. She is awesome and positive with animals.
When I dropped Woody off with Barbara, he was happy to see her and her two pups, Todd and Nilla. They spent the day playing in the yard and in the house, then had some time to relax before I picked Woody up in the afternoon. He and his new friends greeted me with excitement and wagging tails. Woody was well taken care of and came home a happy camper. Barbara is great!
Barbara is great! Will definitely be using her again!

Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet as if he/she were my own with lots of loves and attention. We can either walk in your neigborhood, at a nearby park, or go for an adventure! I am reliable, only use positive training methods and always take measures to keep my clients safe. If you have a particular routine or need that I should follow when in your home, please let me know, and I am happy to help.

Information Barbara G. would like to know about your pet
It will help if I know ahead of time whether your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. How well your pup is socialized with other people and dogs is also a very important piece of information that will help me create the best possible experience for your pup.
A typical day
I love to make every walk a positive experience by varying walks (different areas, terrain) and having fun adventures, while working on loose leash training, as needed. Our walks will satisfy dogs' needs to explore, exercise, and get some of that energy used up...while we have fun doing it !

We can schedule either ongoing regular walks and/or training and/or drop-in visits or occasional ones, depending upon your schedule. I can also arrange dog playdates/socialization with my well trained collie !
