A lot of dogs experience some stress while away from their normal environment. I am uniquely qualified to help dogs overcome any stress they may experience while you are away! I am a dog trainer at heart. By engaging your dogs mind while you are away, your dog will experience less stress. I provide at least 15 minutes of fun, positive, reward based, trick training every day your dog is away. I have trained my own dogs to participate in competitive obedience, fun tricks, and therapy work and I am getting started in dock diving and agility! I believe in providing the best of care while you are away. I prioritize safety, and your pets will stay comfortable and happy in my home. My children have been taught respect for animals and are extremely gentle. I would never leave your dog unattended with my children. I have been accused of being 'obsessed' with dogs... I love them! I have lived around dogs my whole life. I have studied dog psychology and recognize stress signals others might not pick up on. In college I worked at a vet office in the kennel (my favorite job ever). I have attended seeing eye dog puppy raiser meetings, and fostered rescue dogs and puppies in the past. I really just love dogs.
