🐶Who's a good dog? Trick question!

Pet care experience

❀Happy dog, Happy family.❀ The best dog is a trained one and Training is my passion. My life has been surrounded by animals. Growing up my family built a large rescue home. Over 14 cats and others just for identification. These experiences have driven my ✨Core pet values✨. Dipping my toes in all dog arenas, I have worked with Ringling Brothers, Petco, Rescues, and day camps. I've frequently have worked with bathing and grooming animals of all 🐈shapes and sizes🐘. Working with 'bully' breeds and giant dogs has been my favorite. I am confident with my work and handling. With catacombs of information and research i pick out toys, treats, gear, and training habits that best suit each pups skill levels. I can't get enough of the knowledge. Personally i have a German Shepherd Dog. Her name is Calamity Jane, 5 year old/spay/fem. CJ has been through oodles of training to become a service dog. (task trained for me) Making her a awesome boarding and learning partner for even the most stubborn of furry babies. ---As my service dog: long term clients can expect to meet her---

Your space is important to me! Much like your pets space. When first meeting I tend to be a bit shy but love to answer questions. Once we get talking about dogs i can promise i wont hush!

Information Katherine B. would like to know about your pet

I find it very important to know your pets dietary habits and walking needs. I often offer dog friendly treats for stimulation. If your dog is a puller or an escape artist i'd love to know more about how you handle it at home.

A typical day

Being with me is like a vacation for them! Since my time is theirs you can bet we will spend quite a bit of it cuddling and getting pampered.

I want to be a dog trainer. I Love caring for animals. My schedule for pet care is just about every day! I take two days a week as 'time off' to allow my physical body to keep up. (don't we all! lol) Of course, i'd love to get to know the parents and figure something out that matches for both of us.
