Pet care experience
If you are looking for a trusted and experienced professional, look no further. Please view my references and send me a message about your needs. I work with all breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have 10 years of experience as a trainer, walker and trusted family helper. As well as providing exercise, I can help with any behavioral problems you may be facing. While working with dogs I use praise, affection and positive activity as rewards for good behavior, my technique commands respect without the need for force, harshness or punishment. Please feel free to reach out any time.

Once a booking is established, I will ask for details regarding the current routine you have with your pet. We can discuss concerns and needs as well as preferences. I will need directions about how to enter your property. You will be notified of my arrival and your property will remain secure and respected throughout the booking. I will provide several photos of your pets session and provide feedback about how the session went. Your pet will be provided water and potty breaks (food and treats upon your approval). I use praise and affection as rewards for good behavior, my technique commands respect without the need for force, harshness or punishment. I will answer any additional questions you may have after the booking and help you to set and reach the goals you have for your pet.
Information Karen H. would like to know about your pet
- breed, size, age, gender - medical conditions - feeding / watering / potty schedule - temperament - fixed/unfixed - concerns - socialization history - reward system
A typical day
Fetch, healthy treat hide and seek, walks around the neighborhood, runs, long leash training and training for exercise alongside bikes. I enjoy play-training sessions before leashing to help burn energy, establish a bond and ensure your pet understands my energy and cues. From basic commands rewarded with praise, to complex exercises using verbal and/or physical signals… training can be very fun for the dogs and myself. Not to mention helpful to their families. And last but not least, lots and lots of belly rubs and kisses!
