*(positive reinforcement based) Professional dog trainer! Eco friendly practices. I send a GPS-linked notification when I'm on my way to your pet and aim to arrive within a 1-hour window of our scheduled time. (Thank you for your flexibility- it helps reduce our environmental impact!) *I have a client agreement I ask all prospective clients to sign before services to ensure we are in the same page 🐾📃 * Please be sure to read this in its entirety before reaching out. My business hours for walks, drop-ins, and messages are Mon-Fri 7:30am-7:30pm. Thank you!* Hey All! My name is Jessie Moon and I'm a professional dog trainer local to Asheville, NC. My pronouns are He/Him. I own my own dog training business and held the CPDT-KA certification for several years and plan to be recertified again soon! As a professional dog trainer, you can rest assured knowing that your dog is in the very best and most knowledgeable hands! If you need any help with a behavior problem or training, please let me know, as I'm happy to schedule a consultation with you and your pup! A few things to know about me and how I operate: • I always have a free meet and greet before accepting a new client, unless there is an emergency that prevents it. It's important to me that we are both a great fit for working with each other! • Before our meet and greet, please let me know a few things: Does your dog have any food allergies, fear of strangers, or fear of hats? If your pup is fearful of strangers, I can be sure I'm behaving in a particularly nonthreatening way :) I LOVE wearing my heavily feathered (each feather found on a dog walk!) and crystal-ed hat, but am happy to leave it at home if that might spook your pup- I just need to know first! • If you're looking to book walks (or sitting that includes walks): If your dog(s) pulls on a leash or/and is reactive, please know I will ask if you'd like to employ my training services. If that is not an option, I completely understand, but I will need to manage the behavior somehow- either with a front-latching harness or a Halti. For reactive dogs or very strong pullers, I recommend Halti's. (Not Gentle Leaders!!) • If you're looking to book sitting services: Please know that I have a service dog who will need to be able to stay with me for health reasons. She's a black Goldendoodle, and her name is Shiva. She is very friendly around dogs but is also trained to stay separated from dogs that are not friendly in a sitting situation. There are two options: If your dog is friendly with other dogs, we can meet at a local dog park and let them get acquainted with each other, then I can follow you to your home to finish up our meet and greet. If your dog is not friendly with other dogs, during our meet and greet I will take a look at how your home is set up and show you how I will create a double barrier (including a sight barrier) to keep them separated. This reduces the stress of your pup and ensures that everyone stays safe. Thank you for reading this, and I am looking forward to hearing from you!
