35 years training,breeding,showing

Pet care experience

I have been an instructor for puppy training and have owned,whelped ,raised and house broken litters of puppies for over 35 years in addition to providing basic obedience training ,Therapy dog training and Therapy dog certification. (TDI). I have evaluated puppies/dogs for temperament as well as conformation qualities therefore enabling me to advise & guide pet owners as to how to encourage good behavior with positive reinforcement. A great deal of effort has always been to socialize dogs exposing them to various stimulus to enhance their confidence. Positive reinforcement with a happy upbeat attitude always gets results .I have handled dogs in tracking as well as agility. Training and socializing dogs continues throughout a dogs life.....loving every minute of the time we spend with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also am an AKC Breed Judge currently approved to judge Rottweilers,Doberman Pinscher,Boxers and Great Danes and have judged all breed dog shows in the U.S.,Canada and in foreign countries as well.

Grace did an excellent job taking care of our puppy, Lila. She is clearly extremely knowledgeable about dogs and puppies of all ages. Grace was very easy to work with and Lila seems to have enjoyed her stay. She came home happy and tired from playing in Grace’s backyard. I really appreciated that Grace asked lots of questions about our routine, challenges, feeding schedule, etc. to make sure she took the best possible care of Lila. Drop off and pick up were very easy because Grace already had a large crate and lots of fun toys, so we didn’t have to pack much.

Grace was very warm hearted and welcoming with my little Hannah. When I returned from my trip, she was full of energy and cried on the way home which usually means she was already missing being there. When faced with any issues like Hannah being unfamiliar with her environment and having problems eating, Grace found a way to get her to open up and eat. Overall, a great experience and will be reaching out again for her services.

You'll find no greater or more true Lover of all dogs than Grace! She has been involved in breeding and raising rottweilers for many years and she has a passion for many other breeds, showing them in dog shows across the country. I have no doubt that Grace will provide a kind and caring presence for your dogs(s) while you are away.
