About James G.

Communication

100% response rate
Usually responds in under an hour

Skills

7 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Safety, trust & environment

My dogs get three 30 minute walks daily, regular potty breaks in a fenced yard, as well as structured play time and obedience training. All dogs in my home are crate trained. I am experienced in positive reinforcement methods to build trust with your pup and am also confident being a calm and firm handler where needed. I am good at reading pack dynamics and will always keep a look out to ensure the more sensitive dogs are comfortable, and the higher energy dogs do not over impose. I will always 100% respect your rules surrounding your home and pet, and would politely mention if I feel we are not a good fit.

Information James G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours I should know about. Happy to work with some of the more challenging dogs, even better if they are a herding breed!

A typical day

Depending on the service, I would treat your pet just as I would my own. This includes training for loose leash walking, short obedience training sessions, structured play sessions, time in the fenced yard, regular potty breaks and the occasional bully stick or raw marrow bone (with your approval of course)

Pets

Trainer & Herding Enthusiast

Pet care experience

I grew up around dogs, but my real journey started 7 years ago when I adopted my rescue Border Collie, Chief. Together we worked with professional trainers to overcome his reactivity and fearfulness, building his confidence along the way. I completed the Karen Pryor Dog Trainer Foundations course and got involved in dog sports. Chief and I now compete in sheep herding trials in BC and Washington, earning his Started and Open titles, hopefully his Advanced title this year! I’d love to use some of this experience to help your dog too. I specialize in calm, loose-leash walking and am comfortable working with more challenging dogs using positive reinforcement. Message me to set up a meet & greet!
