I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer through CCPDT and love working with a variety of personalities, ages and breeds! Boxers hold a special place in my heart, as do staffies, mini poodles, and supermutt street dogs. My husband Patrick and I rescued our boxer mix, Finnie, in 2017 and together we have fostered more than 30 dogs with a local rescue since 2018, of all sizes, ages and breeds. In 2020 I ran the rescue’s adoptions department, then took over managing the care of behavior cases, and in 2021 I started working professionally in a dog daycare and training facility. Through my rescue work, I’ve seen all sorts of medical cases and am comfortable dealing with special needs. As a trainer I love figuring out what motivates your dog and teaching them new skills! I hope to send your dog home to you a little better behaved than they were when they arrived :) I have a flexible schedule, and most mornings will come and go as needed to walk and train dogs outside of the home. Meanwhile, my husband works from home so dogs boarding with us while I’m seeing clients will hang out in the office with him, and always have company during the work week! We dedicate our evenings to long walks to the park, playtime and enrichment. Together we keep every dog in our house exercised, socialized, and happy! Our home is your dog’s home! Your dog will have human and canine company, and free access to our living space throughout the day, with a small yard for sunbathing and several daily walks, including a longer evening visit to the park. We can accommodate a dog crate but will not crate your dog if they can be trusted to sleep on the couch. :) Due to my own dog’s traumatic past, I unfortunately cannot accommodate male dogs larger than 50lbs or intact males of any size for boarding or daycare.
