$30 - 1 Hour Private Dog Training

Pet care experience

Growing up in a large house, filled with animals has taught me a lot about animals needs and care. I've been training dogs more specifically for the past three years. I specialize in behavior modification with dogs, and offer daily training opportunities for clients. I'm currently working from home, as I've just made the move back from the cities-- So I'm ready for all the play and wags I can get! I try to stay active in the mornings by scheduling clients into 30min-2hr sessions. Anywhere from 6AM-8PM is when I'm available for training, though my schedule does book up fast! Working with dogs is my passion, and helping families come together is what I do for a living. I believe that you should be able to have a comfortable home life with all your pets, and my training enforces this behavior, for both humans and doggos! I see many different breeds a day! I love the challenge that my job brings, and my ability to meet the needs of my clients, no matter the breed. Keeping your dogs busy and stimulated makes not only my job easier, but creates healthy, happy dogs. I like to bring in toys, treats, and teach new ideas, when working with any dog.

Has an eye for dog behavior and training. Very nice and flexible on schedules. Will definitely use Josie again when we are in the area. Meeko and her dog Jack Jack got along great and came home tired.

Safety, trust & environment

This is our first year branching out into clients homes. It's been a great experience to learn the ropes of what clients really want for their dogs. Which is exercise, play, and responsive behavior training! We've starting teaching clients how to go on what we call "Adventure walks".

Information Josie L. would like to know about your pet

It's important that I know their routine during the day so I can help them improve. Letting me know their schedule/medications by text is the best way I can write it down for their home form! A lot of training does include behavior changes of not only your dog, but also how you respond to behaviors. There is NEVER any judgement about the behaviors, I will help anyone.

A typical day

There's a lot of exploring in my neighborhood! I like training with movement, and keeping your dogs mind working is a huge part of training. We take adventure hikes to the river, along to the park, sometimes even if requested-- we might visit a store!

I'm working full time as a trainer Sunday to Sunday. My schedule is very flexible as I live in Hutchinson, so I have a lot of time for clients in town. Clients outside of town, will need to schedule in advance.
