Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Secure Fenced Yard: I provide a fully fenced, secure backyard where your pet can enjoy supervised outdoor time and exercise in a safe, contained environment 🌳. Gentle Socialization: Your pet will have a calm and friendly companion in my 5-year-old male dog, who is exceptionally gentle and well-socialized with pets of all sizes and ages 🐕. Crate Training & Routine: I am happy to accommodate crate-trained pets and can provide a secure crate for sleeping, feeding, or safety breaks to maintain your pet's specific home routine 📦. Safe & Adaptable Care: Whether I am providing care in my home or yours, I prioritize a low-stress, hazard-free environment tailored to the unique safety needs of puppies, seniors, or dogs with disabilities ✨.

Information Courtney R. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care, please share the following details about your pet: Medical & Mobility 💊: Does your dog have any specific physical limitations or require mobility aids (slings, wheels)? Please list any medications, dosages, and administration schedules. Dietary Needs 🥣: Are there any food allergies or strict dietary restrictions? Do they have a specific feeding routine or "high-value" treats they love? Behavioral Habits 🐕: How do they react to other dogs (socialization style)? Are there specific triggers I should avoid on walks (e.g., squirrels, loud trucks)? Puppy Progress 🍼: If you have a puppy, where are they in their potty and crate training journey? What commands are they currently learning? Safety & Comfort 🏠: Are they comfortable being crated if needed? Do they have a "safe space" or a favorite comfort toy they should bring?
A typical day
We keep the energy up with indoor or backyard games. Some favorites include: Hiding high-value treats or a favorite toy for the dog to find using their nose. Tossing treats in the grass or around the room to encourage natural foraging behaviors. Great for keeping movement safe and fun for all ages. For the younger ones, we work on short, positive reinforcement sessions for basic manners. 💤 Dogs need plenty of sleep! This is when we enjoy some supervised lounging in the fenced yard or cozy naps inside. If a dog is crate-trained, this is a perfect time for a safe, secure rest period with a stuffed puzzle toy.
