Hi I’m Jackie and I am a retired vet tech and dog trainer. I offer unique experiences for pets and pet parents. While my pricing may be higher than other sitters this is because of my years of experience as a vet tech, animal behavior, and dog training which makes me uniquely able to provide the most safe experiences for your dog. During our meet and greet I will assess your pup and needs. From there I will build a customized rate for your fur families needs. Customization varies on training needed (reactivity and fear aggression will be a higher price) , hiking add ons, house cleaning needs, and any other non standard add ons. Below are two of my more popular offerings. That I offer in your home or in mine! For full transparency these two offerings I do bring my dog to these stays to help your pup have socialization and learn how to play and interact respectfully. If you are wondering if the services below are right for your fur family ask yourself: Does my pup pull and weave around on leash? Do I ask commands multiple times and sometimes they work? Does my dog bolt out of doors when they know they are going for a walk? Do they jump all over people when they come in the house? Do they follow you everywhere or are constantly under foot? Does your puppy play bite? Do you avoid taking them to different situations because they are stressed or pulling you around? Is your dog nervous or fearful of dogs and or people? If you said yes to any of these programs could be for you! Puppy Pre School: Available for 1 week or longer stays. Your puppy will build a foundation in basic commands, place, potty training if needed, and crate training if wanted. Puppies that are fully vaccinated will gain socialization with my very sweet pup and learn respectful play and greetings with other dogs. Throughout the day they will have dedicated training sessions, daily updates and videos for you to see their progress! It is important for puppies to also build confidence in all environments, they will have scheduled time going through sensory activities that are really fun for your pup! When my stay is complete, you will have weekly homework and three follow up sessions to ensure your pup is on the right track as well as me being available to answer questions. Puppy Finishing School: For 1 week stay or longer. This service is perfect for any fully vaccinated dog that has some understanding of basic commands, but they are not reliable. During this training they will learn sit, down, heal, place, front, come, and your preferred release command. They will work these basic skills and then apply them to real world scenarios where they will be taken out for different activities to practice them in different environments. My goal is to help your dog build confidence and focus so that your pup can go anywhere with you! Your dog will enjoy daily walks, hikes, and outtings to ensure they build confidence in themselves as they problem solve and explore the world as well as burn off any extra energy they may have. Meeting your dogs energy requirements is a foundation of the program. If you are interested in setting up a consultation please feel free to reach out with a little about your pup (age-breed-how long you have had them) and your biggest concerns. Together we will get your pup on track!
