As a Certified Dog Trainer and seasoned privately insured professional with six years of experience handling dogs in the competitive show ring, my approach to pet care is built on a foundation of expertise that extends well beyond standard sitting. My work has involved guiding dogs across all breed groups, from high energy Sporting breeds to the Gentle Giants, using only positive reinforcement and evidence-based methods. I reject the use of intimidation or aversive tools, instead, my techniques are rooted in patience, a deep understanding of canine behavior, and current scientific principles. This extensive background means your pet is never left alone beyond our agreed upon times, nor are they ever exposed to unknown animals or guests without your consent. My training in first aid and CPR ensures I can identify a medical emergency immediately and transport your pet to an ER if necessary, providing you with complete peace of mind. Furthermore, because every interaction is guided by my professional philosophy, you can be confident that no punitive corrections will ever be used on your animal. I specialize in supporting fearful, reactive, and anxious dogs, helping them build confidence through structured, compassionate guidance. Whether maintaining training regimens, socializing puppies, or catering to special needs pets, I tailor every visit to the individual animal’s personality. My years in the show world have also cultivated a sharp eye for canine health, structure, and proper physical conditioning, ensuring your dog receives attentive, knowledgeable oversight. To maintain a safe and healthy environment for everyone, I do not care for pets on raw food diets, as research indicates they can shed pathogenic bacteria at levels that pose a risk to humans and other animals. The well-being of my clients is my priority, and I adhere to strict hygiene protocols to keep everyone happy and healthy. Currently a college student with a flexible schedule, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing lively walks, enrichment activities, and a low-stress alternative to boarding by keeping them in the comfort of their own home. I look forward to discussing how I can provide your dog or cat with the expert care they deserve.
