Experienced dog handler/trainer
Pet care experience
I have been around animals my entire life. I have trained champion show dogs as well as competed in agility events since I was 10. Currently, I live in an apartment where I have two cats but miss having a dog. Taking care of dogs is a pleasure because they give so much back to us.
Reviews
I have known Brandi for 13 years and in all that time she has always shown qualities of a competent and loving animal handler. Once we visited a petting zoo and we’re warned that the Llamas were in a bad mood and to stay away from their pen. Just to prove the point one of them snapped at me as I walked by to see a pig. When I turned around she was there by the pen giving and receiving affectionate hugs and smooches from all of the denizens of the Llama pen. She has of experience training and owning dogs, as well as having, spent copious amounts of time working with horses as a ranch hand. Lastly and I say this with deepest gratitude she is the only reason my cats kind of listen to me now. She’s the best!
About Brandi L.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When I had dogs, I would walk them everyday (while also doing a training session) and make sure they were having fun, which is the most important part. I talk in goofy voices to my pets, tell them My problems sometimes, and overall just try to spend time with them like I would human friends and family. We’ll play their favorite games and give them their favorite treats. Most importantly I make sure they are provided for and safe. All of my dogs were crate trained and clicker trained.
Information Brandi L. would like to know about your pet
I am open and experienced with most temperaments and breeds. Every dog has their own needs and personality so nothing really shakes me. I would like to know about aggression tendencies just for both of our safety.
A typical day
When at home I like to play with them with their toys or other activities: snuggles and lap-sits are always welcome. On walks, I personally like to go down hiking trails or to the beach but I can always find fun paths closer to home if the client prefers.

Availability
Currently, I am working part time. Most days of the week I am completely flexible for frequent pop-ins or longer play sessions. I’m sure I could fit most schedules.
