Dog Trainer/Home FT/Voted Best K9 P

Cecilia is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer and has over 25 years of experience training dogs without force and without painful methods. From the start, she focused on developing a leadership relationship with the dog in order to have a trusted companion that will follow cues at all times not out of fear but out of respect and love for its handler. Her methods of raising puppies are unique and produce well-behaved and loyal companions. Cecilia's upbringing as Zen Buddhist gives her ideal calmness and infinite patience in searching the best way to interact with the animals she treats and train; and her sense of humor and ever-positive attitude make her clients have a good time while training their dogs or watching their horses enjoy a massage session. You can see her complete professional background in LinkedIn ​

We are so happy with Cecilia and the wonderful care she gave our dog, Maple! Maple was taken on multiple walks a day, and we loved receiving a video update each day — it really put our minds at ease knowing she was in such good hands. We came home to one very happy pup and wouldn't hesitate to book with Cecilia again!

Cecilia was great! She is kind and prompt and took time to settle in with Zoë and make some accommodations for her so she would be as comfortable as she could be away from home. She was very good with all the communication and I loved the videos she sent. I would use Cecilia again anytime I need someone to watch Zoë for a night I can’t be home. Thank you Cecilia!

Schedule

I work from home. This is what I do for living. We walk in the mornings and the evenings on the State Park across the street, and all over town as well. Each dog has its own large space. Climate controlled kennels. All dogs sleep inside.

Safety, trust & environment

I only care for pets in my home. I have cameras installed in multiple parts of the property. Dogs that do not like being with other dogs, have a private area for each dog individually. I only have 6 dogs under my care at a time. If dogs are okay with cats, then they spend time with me in the office.
