Golden mom, loves to give scritches
Pet care experience
I have experience working with (watching, training, exercising) separation anxiety and reactivity in dogs. Dog Training style: positive reinforcement with correction when needed. (experience training horses in my background in addition to my own dog) Experience with elderly dog care in their own home (day and overnight), medication, mobility issues. Volunteer work at my local humane society also gave me experience walking lots of dogs of various sizes, temperaments, breeds, training levels.

About Joanna C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have a fences in yard, but I do have a tie out that I utilize for Midas to use the facilities, so to speak. For exercise, we typically go find a trail to wander along. I can easily crate your dog if needed, I have a large crate available. If small crate is needed, it would need to be provided by you. I can stay at your house as well for sitting purposes, but my doggo would have to be able to join me there.
Home
Information Joanna C. would like to know about your pet
If they have needs as far as training. If your dog has separation anxiety that would limit what I am able to do while they are at my house, as well as how severe and their reactions to being alone (example: can they be left alone for small periods of time, or not at all). If they're reactive, and what their triggers are.
A typical day
I live about 5 minutes from an environmental center with lots of trails, so I love to take my dog out there on a regular basis for walks, hikes, and runs. As well as a few other key spots I know in Westminster that I like to go. If your dog needs socialization, I can easily take him to a public space that allows dogs and sit out to read or something while they get experience.
