Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Cristy. I'm an animal lover and have experience with just about any creatures you can think of! In addition to extensive experience in training dogs and puppies, I've also worked professionally with cats, small animals (mice, rats, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, ferrets, etc.), reptiles, and fish, and am able to administer medications as necessary to all. I worked as a professional Dog Trainer for 7 years and had a private business training dogs as well, and graduated from the Animal Behavior College as a certified dog trainer. I also have professional experience with dog bathing and very basic grooming (ear cleaning, sanitary care, and nail trims) and knowledge of pet first aid. Lastly, I have a network of animal enthusiasts who also happen to work as groomers, trainers, and vet techs should I ever have questions that arise while I'm working with your fur babies. :) I am a believer in positive methods of training and care and am passionate about giving animals the best quality of life possible. When we choose to take an animal into our homes, we are committing to their care and accepting responsibility for not only their health, but their wellbeing and happiness. I'm a proud momma of 2 goofball dogs (both rescues)--one Black Lab (Gracie), and one Dalmatian (Flip) and an adopted Leopard Gecko named Stella. I've been the pet parent to numerous animals over the years, including dogs, cats, birds (cockatiels and finches), lizards (Chinese Water Dragon, Bearded Dragon, and Leopard Geckos), and several types of fish.

Information Cristy T. would like to know about your pet
Any breed is fine. I do need to know about any health or behavioral issues your pooch has so I am prepared (no problem working with timid, fearful, or aggressive dogs or cats). Also, anything you are working on training-wise with your dog that I can reinforce while you're away or I'm hanging out with you pooch. :)
A typical day
Love to play with animals and work with them on positive training techniques. I enjoy teaching tricks and giving belly rubs, going for walks and doing whatever makes your pooch's doggy smile come out! I also enjoy kitty company and pets...What do you need? That's what I'm here for! I want your pet to have a good time and be well-cared for.
