Creative Professional Trainer!

Pet care experience

***ALL DOGS COMING INTO MY HOME MUST BE GOOD WITH CATS AND CRATE TRAINED FOR BOARDERS, DOGS WHO'RE BOARDING AND NOT CRATE TRAINED MAY NEED TO SIGN A LEGAL CONTRACT FOR COVERING ANY POTENTIAL DAMAGES. I'VE HAD FAR TOO MANY ISSUES WITH DOGS DESTROYING MY FURNITURE/HOME OR TRYING TO HARM MY CATS BEFORE*** Hello, I am Jesse. I am certified as a dog trainer with experience handling and training in basic obedience, behavioral rehabilitation and working dogs (hunting, protection, etc). I use a rounded based training involving positive reinforcement and redirection which varies in process based on the individual dog. I have a strong passion for animals with a calm, confident ability to guide and care for many different household species even outside of dogs. I offer actual training programs alongside boarding and daycare for animals, which you're more than welcome to inquire about the options I can provide to you and your dog. My training programs are entirely separate from Rover.

Jesse was incredibly responsive and very patient with my stubborn dog. He was professional and I could tell her truly cared about my pet.

Safety, trust & environment

As a boarder/day-care, I can provide plenty of on-leash activities alongside my own well socialized dog who can even act as a good balance and mentor for a younger, wilder dog who needs to be taught better manners and behavioral control, as well as my younger dog who can act as a good playmate for another young dog. Or, if your dog is good off leash I can provide the option to let them romp around freely around the property and simply have fun with some toys of the other dogs here.

Information Jesse W. would like to know about your pet

I would primarily like to know most of the basics, such as feeding amount, any special requirements for care, how often potty breaks are needed, any behavioral issues to keep in mind or just a general outline of the dog's behavior and personality, exercise requirements, etc. A general but in-depth run-down of the dog would be ideal so I completely understand what I am working with and how to better make the experience suitable. As for breed preferences, I excel most at working with medium to large breed dogs but have plenty of experience handling and working with smaller dogs as well.

A typical day

Some activities may include walks, hikes and even different games that can be specified to a dog's individual interests, traits or needs whether it be scent games for a hound-type dog or maybe tug games for a terrier-type dog, maybe even just a little bit of easy fetch for a toy or companion breed dog, the possibilities are all based on what the individual dog may excel at in order to give them a stimulating and enjoyable time.

Availability

I work as a professional dog trainer and help manage a farm, so my schedule is relatively open barring days I may have clients already booked. This means sometimes I may have set times I will be unavailable, depending on what I have scheduled already. Availability will often be variable.
