Almost trainer here, ready to help!

Pet care experience

I am working to become a dog trainer and looking for all pet experience I can get. I studied for two years at a shop with a dog nutritionist, have apprenticed with a dog trainer for the past year, and worked with a dog boarding facility for 4 months. My love for dogs really started upon volunteering to walk dogs at my local animal shelter for 6 months. I love working with any and all pets including but not limited to puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious pets, cats and even small animals including rats. Any help I can offer with your pet I am here for it!

Delfin has a great and calming presence around dogs. My 7 mo. BMD is typically reserved when meeting new people, but was on her back begging for belly rubs within minutes. She asked smart questions about my preferences for care/routines. She is friendly, timely, and very professional.

Delfin is incredible! Highly recommend. I was stressed that I had to book someone last minute but Delfin eased my mind. Tiva was well taken care of and was ready for bed when I got home. Thank you Delfin. Will be booking again!

Delfin is cheerful, energetic and so caring with animals. She is consistent, and detail oriented. I have a little pug, and when he was recovering from surgery , I trusted her to keep him safe and assist in watching him because I work long hours. She gave his medications, and walked him, while making sure he would not overexert himself. He came through recovery beautifully, and I am so grateful for her care.

Delfin has loved and lived with dogs her whole life. Walking and working with dogs is an innate skill she's perfected through many years. Want to treat your dog? Let 'em spend some time with Delfin!

Safety, trust & environment

I have my dogs fully vaccinated and crate trained with always taking training and walks very seriously everyday of the week. I have experience working with all different dog breeds and ages. I have taken courses in dog body language to help navigate communication with our furry friends to know when a little help is needed. I always check in with owners in food restrictions and keep a close eye on every pet I watch to keep everybody out of harms way!

Information Delfin M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know your pup preferences on whether they make best friends with everyone they meet or if they need some extra space. I have worked with all the polar opposites so let me know what your puppy needs!

A typical day

I will take any advise from the parent of what they want to do including bike rides, trail walks, dog parks, river adventure, or just short calm walks for my older pups!
