About Haley W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety: I meet the needs of the animal in front of me in a fun and positive way! I have over 2 years of experience working hands on in a veterinary clinic, and physical safety and mental well-being are always the top priority. I am also CPR and First Aid Certified. I always make sure pets are secure inside and outside the home, have all their needs met, and watch for signs of medical issues. I also keep a close eye on body language, that way I can create space when they need it, to keep any anxiety and stress to a minimum.
Information Haley W. would like to know about your pet
Important Info: I need to know of any allergies and other medical needs. I also need an honest rundown of behavior. I can handle most issues, but want to be prepared, that way everyone can stay safe. It’s very important to share any behavioral triggers and how they typically respond to them. I will only use a well fitted, non-restrictive harness, unless the dog walks nicely on a flat, non-aversive collar. I still prefer harnesses, as I like to use longer leashes to give the dog more freedom of movement. I will not, under any circumstances, use aversive collars, and that includes invisible fences.
A typical day
A typical day: I like to provide whatever they find enriching! That can be puzzles, nosework, snuffle mats, feeder toys, kongs, toppls, chews, playtime, and/or walks! I prefer decompression walks in more open places, like parks, that way they can safely be on a harness and long line, while they get the chance to explore and sniff their hearts out! A good hiking trail is wonderful too!

Pets
FearFree Certified VetTech Student!
Pet care experience
Force, Fear, and Frustration Free! I focus on modern, science-backed ways to handle, treat, and train pets, and have the experience to handle reactive & anxious animals. My main goal is to always provide an outlet for natural behaviors, and meet the enrichment and mental stimulation needs of the animal! Services: Dog/Cat Walking- •30-60+ minutes of outdoor fun •Please note that I will not use any aversive collars. •I focus on decompression walks, where they have plenty of freedom to move as they want and sniff. •Studies show that dogs are more enriched & satisfied from just 20 minutes of sniffing compared to an hour walk with no sniffing. •I love to take pets on longer hikes! Price will vary depending on travel and time. Drop-In Visits- •30-60+ minutes in your home •Includes feeding, medication, potty breaks, play time, walks, litter box cleaning, etc. •Extra time added for $10+ an hour House Sitting- •Varies depending on the pets needs •Overnights & Multiple drop-ins during the day available, price may fluctuate depending on time & driving required •I can provide constant care on a varying basis Training Walks- •Since I am very new to training, instead of offering typical dog training, I will do training walks starting at $25 where I work on figuring out the best types of management and therapy for your dog. •A variety of food games, management, and play can be used. About Me: I’m a vet tech student planning to specialize in behavior, and I have worked as an assistant in veterinary clinics for over 2 years now! Adopting my dog from the shelter, and needing to find a method to help heal his fear and anxiety, inspired me to fall into the world of dog behavior. There’s a lot to learn, so I’m always taking a new course or reading a book on behavior to help expand my knowledge. In the long run, I want to work with people’s pets & with rescues to really help companion animals suffering from behavioral problems. Courses, Certifications, and Self-studies: Fear Free Certified Pet Sitter & Vet Tech Student Dog CPR & First Aid with Melanie Monteiro Vet Tech Student - Semester 2 Dr. Amy Cook’s PlayWay Class: The PlayWay is a first of its kind method, that uses play to rehabilitate fearful, anxious & reactive dogs. Dr. Amy Cook’s Management for Reactive Dogs: A class to prevent dogs from going over threshold and reacting to their triggers in any environment. Control Unleashed Pattern Games: A book and course over Leslie McDevitt’s Control Unleashed protocol, for distracted, anxious, reactive, & easily aroused dogs, that have trouble with any environmental conditions.
