YUP! Whether I am visiting with your pet or they are visiting with me, when they are in my care, EVERYTHING WE DO IS TRAINING! Between the physical exercise I will provide, cuddles & playtimes, your pet and I will work on basic commands, new tricks, and other mentally stimulating activities (I provide puzzles and a variety of other activates of your dog’s choosing). Every door we pass through is a sit-and-wait, to improve impulse control & focus their energy. Your dog’s time with me, and your money, will be spent on improving your dog’s manners and skill set, as I reenforce positive behavior and provide them with the mental stimulation they need to keep them from being destructive, board, anxious, etc. I am also experienced in training packs of dogs to respond to commands individually for multi-dog households. I am a professional dog handler/trainer. I have been providing exceptional care for pets (mostly dogs) on-and-off throughout my career. Since my first position as a kennel tech for a dog training company, contracted to train the Los Angeles Port Police dogs, I knew I had found my passion more than 20 years ago. I continued to follow my love for pets through freelance dog/puppy training, volunteering for nonprofits, and managing several full-service dog and pet resorts; including a brand local to St. Louis, MO, where the seven resorts would bring in 80-145 dogs per day, each. I have decided to turn my natural talents as a dog whisperer, and my professional experience as dog handler, into my own full-time business, doing what makes me happy by caring the pet(s) that make you happy!
