I listen to support and improve.

Pet care experience

I’m the friend that’s relied on for training support. Puppy, Senior citizen, separation anxiety to adoptee experience; 10+ years. I’m passionate about learning new training techniques, implementing, and teaching. Every dog and companion deserves to understand each other. I have a 3 year old xl breed. Every day we focus on consistency and communication. I personally focus on the individual needs specific to my companions for the best life experience. From avid exercise to slow paced walks to muscle and joint massage and even reinforcing habits that create healthy confidence. I love paying attention to body language and understanding what it means for a companion as well as the companion’s caretaker and being able to provide comfort and training techniques based off of that. I can’t wait to be a certified dog trainer and help people understand there’s no such thing as a bad or impossible breed. It’s all about understanding, communication, implementation, and consistency. My goal is to keep your companions day as regular and consistent as possible. We will be on time for walks, they will get a lot of attention, I love animal body language so I’ll be able to build a connection with your companion based on their comfortability level, and I prefer to go by your rules. I understand no dogs on couches and I also fully support couch cuddles. It’s all about your companions happiness and well being along with providing ease and comfort for you and I will make sure to provide everything you need to maintain that. I chose a neighborhood great for king walks and close to downtown for easy access to greys lake. apartment that offered a dog park for comfortable potty breaks. And being right next to greys lake offers great adventures. I can crate if required, as I crate my 2 yr old for his safety. I encourage as many “rules” and your guidance to abide by to make your companions day to day as regular and enjoyable as possible. This is all about you guys and making your lives easy and comfortable.

I consider Javon responsive, courteous and flexible after using her services with our 2 dogs. Javon is a professional and had no problems administering medication. Upon our return the house was as expected and the dogs were in a good mood. I would recommend Javon.

Javon was so kind and thorough. I could see how comfortable my cats were with her by how calm they were when I got home. I’ll definitely book with Javon again.

Javon was wonderful! We were in town for a wedding and she was very accommodating to our schedule and working through numerous changes to our needs. We would highly recommend her.

Information Javon L. would like to know about your pet

Having had multiple companions with separation anxiety you can give me all the step by step rules you want, and they will be followed. Please let Me know of any special needs when it comes to leash aggression/reactivity, senior citizen needs, medication requirements, and personal background history to fully understand your companion(s).

A typical day

I’m a puzzles/hide and seek gal myself who loves cuddles. Training to stimulate is something I do on the regular with my pup and would love to with yours. Queen of tug o war and a previous tennis and softball player! High energy myself with an understanding of cuddles and long naps. I’m the best of both worlds. My senior citizen who recently passed showed me how to really slow down and what patience truly means.
