Pet care experience

Experienced handler of all breeds!

I volunteered for 1.5 years at a shelter in Montana and most recently worked at a doggie daycare/boarding facility as a handler and trainer for approximately a year. I personally have been a dog owner since 2013 (not including family dogs growing up). I have experience with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and demeanors. I have extensive hands-on training in reading dog body language. I am particularly well-versed in building a good relationship with nervous/fearful dogs. I treat every dog as if they were my own pet!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I always respect a dog’s boundaries and never do anything that they are uncomfortable with. I am a very confident handler and that helps in building a trusting relationship with a new dog. Even if the dog immediately wants to be my best friend, I let them come to me and I let them set the tone and pace. The most important thing with any dog is patience and not forcing them into a situation that could be stressful for them. I have successfully trained two dogs that I adopted with behavioral issues including reactivity to other dogs & people, and resource guarding. I believe in positive reinforcement ALWAYS. If a correction is needed I use a firm but calm voice, and praise when the inappropriate behavior stops. You can rest assured that I will never do anything to harm your beloved pet.

Deanna is wonderful with dogs! She has this uncanny ability to understand them, and can easily read their moods and temperament. Your pet will love her and look forward to her visits! Deanna will take the time to play with them and love on them as if they were her own. Rest assured, your pet will be in very loving and experienced hands.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Deanna can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Please let me know about any problematic behaviors your dog may have that I should be aware of. If there is anything you would like for me to work on with them for training, and whether or not I can use treat rewards, I would be happy to do so!
