Pet care experience
Dogs have been my passion since my earliest memories. When I was a young girl, I was always training my family and friends dogs. I also would take care of my friends dogs when needed. I started to get involved with dog sports around the age of 12. In addition to this, I trained my dog to be a therapy dog. When I was 16 I started to volunteer at the Animal Humane Society in Golden Valley for a few years before going to college. I graduated from the University of Minnesota- Twin Cities with a degree in Communications and a minor in Leadership. Along the way, I took many classes to learn more about animal behavior and psychology. However, once I graduated, I was at a loss of what to pursue. It was during this time when I stumbled into working for Invisible Fence as a dog trainer. I found my true passion of training dogs through this. I have spent countless hours learning through hands on experience, shadowing other trainers, signing up for seminars/conferences and taking courses through a Pet Professional Program. In addition to this, I read countless books, listened to professional dog trainer podcasts, and watched videos. Now I run my own dog training business called Tator's Training.

Always reliable!
Always does a great job!!
Janneke is great with our girl and we come home to a happy walked pup!! She is timely, friendly and makes sure to give us updates and notes any changes she notices with our dog. Thank you!
Janneke walked Louie Lemon a few times in November. When it was too cold, she played with Louie indoors . She really came through for us and left us updates and observations on how Louie did during those walks.

Safety, trust & environment
Every dog is treated like my own. I would never put an animal in a situation that isn't environmentally safe for them or puts them at risk. Safety involves having a safe place, being aware of what a dog is trying to tell you, having water available, following the established nutrition routine, allowing play, freedom (within reason), and providing daily enrichment.

Any type of behavioral concerns? Dietary restrictions that I need to follow? Is your dog considered special needs? Medications that your dog is on? Any type of illness?

Availability
Pet care is about the well-being of the animal as a whole... starting with nutrition, enrichment, mental stimulation and being active. I have 3 dogs of my own that I work with every day. I target each category (nutrition, enrichment, mental stimulation, physical activity) to make sure their needs are met. I also live by a positive reinforcement approach. I work with dogs daily and have a flexible schedule throughout the week.
