Certified dog trainer/behaviorist.

Pet care experience

I am a certified dog trainer through Animal Behavior College and have been working as a professional dog behaviorist for several years. I believe in dog psychology and positive reinforcement with canines. This means showing dogs what behaviors will yield positive results as opposed to punishing dogs for unwanted behavior. I also believe that our dog buddies should get their own vacation when they can't be brought along with their owners for theirs, which is why I offer home style / kennel free boarding. Dogs get an opportunity to socialize with my pack of dogs as well as dogs from other packs (when all behavior is ideal of course) Getting a dog to walk consistently and calmly is a major aspect of what I do.

Jonathan did a wonderful job with our two dogs Tucker and Winnie (a golden retriever and mini golden doodle). They had a blast playing in his large yard and pool :)

Jonathan took GREAT care of our boy while we were out of town! He sent a photo or video every day, and Timber came home tired and happy. Jonathan was also very accommodating with our rules for Timber and made sure to be available at the times we needed for drop off and pickup. Definitely would book again!

I had to unexpectedly go out of town overnight and Jonathan saved my life by immediately accepting my booking request. His two dogs were so gentle and sweet with Artie. Jonathan sent tons of photos and videos while we were away of the dogs all enjoying the yard together. Artie came home in a visibly wonderful mood with a little bit more confidence than he left with. Jonathan even had a couple really helpful tips when it came to correcting a couple of Artie’s little behavioural problems. I definitely won’t hesitate to book with this pack again ?
