Loving care with Enrichment
Pet care experience
I am first aid and CPR certified for dogs, an AKC registered trainer, Fear Free Trainer and Behaviourist, and Nutritional Coach. I have been privately working with dogs and studying animal psychology for 15 years and have extensive knowledge of behaviour and enrichment for dogs. Previously ran an enrichment center in Maryland before moving to Texas to work with animals out here.
Reviews
Diana was wonderful with our Goldendoodle. He was well cared for, picked up some good new habits, and had the benefit of spending time with a few other dogs in a calm setting. Great communication. Overall highly recommended!
Diana is an outstanding pet sitter, who goes above and beyond in caring for our dogs. This is due to her extensive knowledge in dog training and nutrition and her innate love of the profession.
Diana was amazing with our nervous pup. She knew exactly how to make our pup feel comfortable. She was very communicative and accommodating to our schedule.
About Diana L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I focus on behaviour and training for any and all dogs that may need a little extra TLC while owners are away. I have a fenced in yard where dogs are regularly monitored, as well as indoor play area. All dogs in my home will receive daily training and enrichment games. I make sure to reward them mentally and physically with plenty of exercise (if applicable; some older pups prefer to rest)
Home
Information Diana L. would like to know about your pet
I will need to know how your dog responds to other dogs. Are there any behaviour concerns? Has any previous training been completed? If your dog has had previous training, how can I help reinforce what your dog has learned? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Is your dog crate trained? Have they ever stayed overnight at places before?
A typical day
A typical days begins with breakfast in the morning and then outdoor playtime to get out the zoomies. During outdoor time, there can be anything from tennis balls to pools (weather dependent), and training activities to reinforce recall and waiting. After morning playtime, we'll come inside for Disney movies and lunch/snacks with a bit of nap time. After naptime, we will work on puzzle activities and more enrichment games along with outdoor playtime. Once it's dinner time, we will door 2 more potty breaks before everyone receives a calming treat and bedtime music.
