Dogs are my life! I love them so much that I obtained dog training classes including potty-training, positive crate-training, leash training, positive reinforcement training only (no negative reinforcement or physical discipline) for basic good behavior and manners. I have my golden retriever here who is the most submissive, friendly dog I have ever worked with. He will make your dog feel at home if you are more comfortable boarding your dog at my house! When I say that dogs are my life, I mean it! I work at a dog sanctuary in Marysville. My job is to take care of the 40+ dogs there of every shape, size, and breed. I work with dogs on the daily, if not hourly, and love every minute of it. It is important to me to not only train your dog, but also let them be a dog. I have seen some trainer's approach where they use punishment to correct the dog, and I could not disagree with that more. If your dog is a jumper, and jumps on me out of excitement, that is ok!!! Positive reinforcement training takes time, patience, and acceptance. I hope my rates don't seem too high! Just remember you get free training included :) I am also a crazy cat lady, so if you choose for me to house sit/drop in, I would be happy to take care of your feline fur baby. Whether that entails, feeding, cleaning the litter box, or just giving love and cuddles. I am also happy to preform other basic house sitting duties, like bringing in your mail/paper, water plants, etc.
