A kind and motivated dog lover

Dogs have always been a part of my life, from when I was little up until this day.I have always taken an interest and have a strong connection with all the dogs in my life. Through the last few years I have taken my love for dogs and started to slowly expanded my interest to learning more about positive reinforcement training, enrichment, dogs emotions, our relationship with them and how our interaction impact our beloved dogs but also ourselves. Still with lots to learn, I am dedicated to putting in my full effort in the care I provide for any animal and hold appreciation for the experience. I do have a goal of building enough education and experience to be a high quality, knowledgeable dog trainer in the far or near future. My dog is part of my family, and I always give my dog respect, boundaries, love and care. I have her consistently considered in my daily life scheduling and how my choices in my interactions with her positively affect mine and my dogs relationship. I take time to consider my dogs individual needs along with her emotions and her ways of communication. These values will also always be applied when I interact and form a relationship with my clients dogs. You’re dog deserves to be valued, respected and given the best care possible and I will provide this. I will provide respect to both you, your dog and your home and ensure I follow through with your expectation of care provide to your dog. I will ensure to provide photos of your dog on their walks and in home when settling back inside or when getting check ins. When providing care I will ensure your dog is given the exercise/enrichment expected, whether it is through play, or walks that allow for the dog to stop for sniffs and enjoy their experience and take in as much enrichment as possible. I will ensure your dog gets positive reinforcement from myself and will follow your expectations of rewards, treats and following any training or behaviour expectations.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At home I do have a shared back yard, and use various leash for walks; my dog is provided a short leash (6 feet) for town walks along with having a 20 foot plus leash for more free roam when available. I prefer to take my dog to large open areas instead of dog parks. With learning positive reinforcement my dog has shown success in limiting pulling behaviour, teaching new tricks and reactivity though this individual learning process. My dog get mental enrichment, and various physical exercise opportunities with using a flirt pole for chasing a “prey”, playing fetch, tug-a-war and walks that provide lots of opportunity for sniffing. when providing care for my clients pets I will provide the care and enrichment/exercise expected wether this is walks, playing fetch and other games, or if your pets get food/meal through enrichment activities.

Please let me know any specific needs for your dog, house or yourself. I am comfortable handling dogs with reactivity or high energy/ arousal. I will be more then happy to discuss any expectations on your end out my handling and how to approach certain behaviours. Let me know of any routine or training your are implementing that I can follow to provide consistency for your dog.
