I have 30’ leashes that I will take your dog outside with while at my home. I can crate your dog if needed. At your home I will take them out as often as needed feed and play with them.

Information Darla W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors you would like us to work on. Also if your dog is aggressive towards other dogs or animals.

A typical day

I love to play fetch with balls and frisbees. We also use treats when appropriate for training and games we play while walking keeping your dog stimulated during our session

Animals are healing

Pet care experience

I have lived with animals most of my life. I have owned, trained and shown boxers for the past 19 years. I have helped my friends at Pawsitive. Dog training with their puppy and basic obedience classes. I am currently retired I will walk your dog any place you request or I do know a few places. I will work on healing nicely on a leash, recall, sit and down. I do use treats ( unless you ask me not to) and positive reinforcement.

Thank you so much for taking care of my girls while I was out of town today. I know they are always in great hands and you give them lots of attention and play time when I’m not home. They love spending time with you!
