dog trainer & wants to teach dogs

Pet care experience

I have worked with most breeds and I am comfortable with caring for multiple dogs at once as well as working with a variety of temperaments. While I take care of your pet, they can be taught to wait at boundaries, walk on a loose leash or perhaps just a fun tricks to engage them and work their mind! I am a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College and have been training for 10 years. If you have specific training needs, let’s discuss them and see if we can come up with a solution! I am Red Cross canine first aid and CPR certified. Rest assured when I am taking care of your pooch they will get the best care, I will give you updates if you would like and that they will be treated if they were my own.

Jocelyn was our dog sitter and trainer for several years until she unfortunately (for us) moved out of our area. It was always a comfort to know that she was watching our pets (two dogs and three cats) whenever we were on vacation, because we knew that we would never have to worry about their care or safety. It was very clear that she loved our pets (especially our two Boxers, which she helped train whenever they attended doggie daycare) as much as we did. However, it was not just her love for them that eased our concerns whenever we were away. As a professional dog trainer, Jocelyn understand our Boxers' verbal and nonverbal cues, which was essential in our case since both of our dogs are rescues with emotional problems (one dog bites anybody who comes near it and the other attacks other dogs and small animals --- don't worry, we have three baby gates and two flights of stairs separating our dogs from our cats). Due to our dogs' aggressive tendencies, Jocelyn continues to be one of only four people (not including my fiance and I) --- the other people being grandparents --- whom we can entrust with their care and with whom our dogs actually get along. To this day (about four or five years after she moved away), we haven't been able to replace her.

Jocelyn has always done a fantastic job caring for my dogs! Her experience, patience, and love of dogs shows through in all of her interactions with them.

Jocelyn is the best! She often takes my dog Tessie out for a walk when I have to work late. She also house sits when I am gone for a few days. She makes my life so much easier and I don't have to worry about a thing when Jocelyn is there. She is also an amazing trainer. When Tessie was misbehaving due to anxiety, Jocelyn came up with some very straight forward and fun exercises that Tessie loved. I saw an improvement right away and I was blown away by how quickly Jocelyn was able to get Tessie engaged in the activities. I really liked that Jocelyn used positive methods and she clearly explained everything that she did and why. She always finds fun places to bring Tessie and I love hearing about their adventures. Jocelyn is by far the nicest person you could ever find to take care of your pet.

We will go on walks to dog friendly locations near by or just around the neighborhood. If your pup loves nature walks, we can hike a trail near your home.
