My name is Jayla. I'm 23years old and I have been working with animals since I was 10! I work with dogs, cats, rodents, reptiles, birds and various other animals, of all sizes, ages, and temperment. I started my professional career working at the PSPCA, where I was a Kennel Attendant, and even took a horse handling course. I also spent some time as a vet's assistant where I learned a lot about vet medicine, including wound care, basic health assessment and treatments, giving medications, cpr and more! I spent some time at a couple different dog daycares, where I honed my dog handling, training, and behavior reading skills. Currently, I'm a dog groomer, and a certified dog trainer. My certificate is in Positive Reinforcement training, using LIMA methods to find which way of training works best for your dog. I also run a small, home based animal rescue program, and will occasionally have foster dogs and cats. I can train dogs in basic obedience, loose leash and off-leash walking, house breaking, impulse control, manners (no jumping, nipping, etc.), and reactivity. I also train humans how to understand and communicate with their pups, and how to grow a trusting, strong bond that they can rely on. I no longer have a yard, so every dog gets a minimum of 3 walks a day, early morning, mid moring before work, and directly after work. I take all dogs to a big park, everyday, at least 2 times a day, if not more, guaranteed for higher energy dogs. I have a 10ft,16ft, 30ft, and 50ft leads and they get to run around and play for as long as they want. I love going hiking and taking pups on fun adventures, especially during the summer, we're right by Pennypack on the Deleware. I always make sure to send pictures and videos to parents, mostly videos, so pet parents will be able to see their dogs body language and see how they really feel(pictures can often be misleading). Dogs that board with me MUST be fully crate trained (no excessive barking) as I prefer to keep my pups separate from boarders, so mandatory separation and crate time is needed. Playful dogs staying more than a week MAY have the opportunity to meet and play with my pups, however I am very strict about who interacts with them, as dogs are still animals and can be unpredictable at times. I am responsible, reliable, extremely transparent, and trustworthy and I hope to provide amazing service to you soon!
