I have been an animal trainer/caregiver for 30 years- focusing on canines. I believe in positive reinforcement. I believe the owner should be the pack leader. I believe that all those who interact with dogs should be excellent communicators- dogs need to be able to count on this. I believe that our animals are part of our families and should be treated and valued as such. In my care, your dog will find a warm, inviting home-away-from-home, where (s)he can play, stretch their legs, and find a comfortable place to rest while you are away at work/play. Dogs love to get out, so, I make sure that we go out every few hours -to explore the world and learn new things. They, also, love to have a place of their own, where they feel safe. I provide all dogs with a kennel space (if desired) a/o a dog bed. The personal space allows each dog to relax, chew on a bone, and take in the world around him/her in a stress-free environment.
