Exercise with focus while training!

Pet care experience

I have been raised around a large volume of animals my whole life in the beautiful wine country, where my grandma ran an in-home rescue. I currently work for a holistic veterinarian and pet store, and have housesat animals for many years as well. Other past jobs have included kennel technician and a pet food educator for a raw food company. I believe in walking dogs to truly exercise and tire the body and mind, while working on manners and training. But we still have fun! I love to go on trail hikes and to the beach, and can follow the fun with a bath or basic grooming per request. I can walk multiple dogs at the same time, as well, and work on socialization. I can also help you find the right training tools for the individual dog and situation.

Keeping his body busy and working his brain, both much needed today

Erika has been a caregiver for my pets for the last 7 years. She is extremely knowledgeable regarding all aspects for a wide variety of pets. I have had her care for horses, cats, dogs , fish and birds over the years ( and chickens). She is extremely reliable and has experience working as a vet tech. Highly recommended

Erika has owned and loved dogs all her life. She is an excellent trainer and the dogs she has trained reflect that and get noticed. She goes the extra mile and bathes, clips toenails, cleans ears, and anything else to improve a dog's health and happiness. She is very knowledgeable regarding nutrition and exercise and traits of different breeds due to her personal and professional experience.

Information Erika M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your dog’s basic training levels, skills, and leash walking ability, as well as tolerance/socialization with people and other animals. I have no breed preferences, nor size restrictions!

A typical day

Local dog friendly trails, beaches and parks. If your dog simply needs to get out and about, we can visit local pet stores and socialize with other people and pets. Training and mental stimulation is also important, and something I incorporate into every visit!
