Pet care experience

Pro-Walker/ Behavior Specialist

I have had dogs all my life. I love all animals. I have had experience volunteering for the animal care department for a local wildlife rescue. I have been walking dogs for over 7 years and have been voted one of the best walkers in Dallas. My very first job was working to care for over one hundred dogs daily. My professional experience is as a behavior specialist. I have special training and education in animal care and behavior analysis and years of experience in utilizing ABA, including reinforcement, to make behavior change. I am a very compassionate and patient person and caregiver. I have been in the care giving field for most of my adult life. Your pooch is in good hands with me!

Candace took good care of my pup. However, I was disappointed to learn she didn’t use the collar my trainer and I are using and didn’t adhere to the training I told her I was following.

Candace always does well with my little buddy. She’s professional and gets the job done. I can tell she is an animal lover. Will request her in the future.
