I am an Obedience Dog Trainer, I acquired my certification on Dog Training and Service Dog Training, Pet CPR /First Aid, Daycare procedures and Enrichment. Dogs will play, socialize and engage in enrichment activity games such as Hide, Go & Seek, Dog board games which increases dog’s IQ & Language recognition. I also Train dogs to utilize talking button to communicate however, there is an additional charge. For activities, pet parents are responsible for purchasing treats.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Karen was fantastic! She took great care of our 4-year old mini Goldendoodle for two weeks with tremendous patience and insight. He’s not the easiest dog, and Karen was very good with him and sensitive to his reoccurring IVDD. As a dog trainer, she worked on his commands and we have noticed an improvement in his behavior. She showed us the strategies she uses to help with his reactivity as well as his resource guarding. She truly cared about our dog. We hope to use Karen again in the future to take care of our pooch. I highly recommend Karen as a dog sitter and trainer!
Karen was very attentive and so caring towards our kitty girl and dog poppa, she kept us updated with pictures and videos and got our very anxious dog to play and feel comfortable in her care and he even learned some new tricks ! He came home happy. She was also very caring and considerate towards Kitty making her feel comfortable enough to come out and ask for pets ! They did some arts and crafts with their paws that are so cute. Would highly recommend !
Karen was great with my dog. I was crazy worried since haku is a nervous guy with quiet a bit of anxiety and is also leash reactive. But Karen was perfect for him. When I picked him up he wasn't anxious at all and Karen gave me a lot of updates which really help me feel better.
Karen was excellent with my Oreo. It was his first time and he was very anxious she made him feel comfortable and took her time with him. Before we knew it was as if he knew her forever. She played with him and walked him. He made new friends and we will definitely be booking with Karen again.
Karen was amazing with my older special needs dog. It was obvious she put in extra effort to care for her and my nervous dog was very comfortable with her. Karen also followed up after the visit to check in on my pouch. She goes above and beyond. I will definitely use her again.
Karen was amazing. She was so loving and patient. My Chloe is very active and Karen knew how to handle her. She even trained her and Chloe is better behaved outside. Karen also sent pictures, videos, and sent me daily texts. Chloe really enjoyed her time with Karen.

I love to stimulate dogs mentally therefore, we will also play games and dog puzzles along with physical enrichment on our small agility course if your dog is interested, high value treats are a must, meaning a treat your dog cannot resist.
