I worked full-time as the foster & event coordinator at an animal shelter for a year before moving back to Spain! I was in charge of the foster program, which gave me a lot of experience with bottle feeding and caring for underage orphaned kittens and puppies, giving physical exams, administering vaccines and subcutaneous fluids, and implanting microchips. Running adoption events every weekend gave me experience caring for up to 7 dogs and a litter of puppies all at once on my own. I worked at a veterinary clinic’s doggy daycare for 7 months, where I would run and supervise playgroups of more than 20 dogs by myself. I volunteered for over a year at a small, local animal rescue where I performed tasks such as cleaning kennels, socializing puppies and kittens, and training adult dogs. I love ALL animals, not just cats and dogs! If you have guinea pigs, birds, reptiles, etc. that need sitting, please ask! I’m very passionate about dog behavior and have experience in dog training! I believe in positive reinforcement and training based in kindness. In the words of my favorite dog trainer, Susan Garrett, “Your dog is doing the best they can with the information you’ve given them in the environment you put them in.” If you would like to know more about my approach to dog behaviour and training, and what methods I use, please feel free to contact me!
