CCPDT-KA Certified Dog Trainer
Pet care experience
I am CCPDT-KA Dog Trainer and Handler, with additional experience in dog grooming, fostering, and doggie daycare, I’ve been training dogs for 15 years now, and have been in various parts of the pet care industry for 10 years. I handle dogs with an emphasis on positive reinforcement and have a well-rounded understanding of dog behavior, communication, and body language. I have extensive experience in keeping dogs safe and happy in large group settings as well as in individual one on one play. I have a great love and fascination with dogs, and their safety and happiness is my number one priority.
Reviews
Hank loved his time with Cali. She kept us informed throughout the day. We will definitely book with her again.
Cal was great! I was nervous about taking Jäger to doggy daycare because he can get overexcited but Cal was amazing with him. This is the first time my dog has been tired in awhile so it was lovely to know he was in good hands.
Cali took great care of Max, as always! A lot of quality play time!
Cali is awesome! She took great care of Max, played with her a lot

I use only positive reinforcement methods and cater my care to your dog’s specific needs. I also have a very social and well-trained young dog who would be happy to be your pup’s playmate!

Information Cali V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog as special needs (physical or social) that I should keep in mind with their care. My training specialty is training leash-reactive dogs, so if you would like help with this or just need to make sure your dog is in the hands of someone familiar with handling reactivity, please contact me!
A typical day
I have a 1/3 acre fenced backyard that is great for playing fetch and chase (with our dogs) in. Additionally, we go on daily adventures to local parks that your pup could join us in, we are a very active family!

Availability
I have just moved from Portland, OR and am taking classes online so I currently have a very open schedule I’m hoping to fill with some amazing pups! This holiday season I am particularly interested in boarding pets at my own home. I have two young, energized, well trained, and social dogs and a 1/3 acre fenced yard. If your pup loves to run and play, my home could be an excellent place for them to stay while you are away! If your pup is a more laidback type, my dogs will respect their desire to take a nice stroll around the yard and their space to relax when they’re inside.
