Missing Some Friends

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Barika. I've been a pet owner for about 15 years now and have mostly had dogs but have also worked with cats as well. I recently moved to New Mexico with my family and would love to take care of your precious ones while your busy. I'm very detail oriented and train dogs very well, my last dogs were runaways who were clearly abused at home. Thankfully with a little bit of patience and general conditioning they became very bright and happy dogs again who took commands well and never attacked strangers or owners. I take pride in making sure every animal I meet is not only safe but is well behaved as I know the difficulties faced with having misbehaving pets. I make sure to educate myself regularly and watch other trainers to get a better and more knowledgeable experience to ensure I can properly care for my pets and yours. I make sure to give them plenty of exercise and positive reinforcement for good behavior. I myself go on a mile walk or run everyday so I can guarantee a healthy pet. I strongly believe in giving anyone under my roof the best I can offer and that includes snacks and treats if you would not like to provide them yourself. Although I specialize in training I also make sure to keep an eye out for anything unusual that can cause your pet harm such as splinters, unkept toenails, ticks, ect. I'd love to take care of your pets and thank you for the consideration in advance

Information Barika R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know health conditions or specific preferences you have with your pet (like diet, exercise, behavior issues.) The types of signals you use for commands or if it's just verbal ques. I accept pets of all breeds but are cautious of aggressive breeds like chihuahuas or the infamous term "ankle biters".

A typical day

I enjoy playing with dogs especially if they show signs that they aren't getting enough attention. Favorite toys are encouraged and walks to nice grassy parks are always a favorite.
