I am a passionate animal lover who finds joy in establishing clear communication, offering regular exercise, and maintaining a healthy diet for dogs large and small. I work for a local dog trainer here in town and run a couple classes a week. I look forward to working with dog owners to make your pup (and you) comfortable and happy. I understand the importance of a healthy diet, hydration, safety precautions, and exercise. I have experience working with a variety of dog personalities from cautious, selective, finicky eaters to energetic working breeds. I love taking dogs on hikes to local swimming holes and have experience with transitioning dogs from on to off leash commands. I have worked with a few different dog training institutions over the years and therefore have the know how to teach a dog to walk appropriately on leash, as well as hike safely off leash. I also have the knowledge to teach basic commands, general manners, and socialization. My schedule is highly flexible and I look forward to tailoring a maitinance plan according to your specific needs.
