Fun Adventures w/ a Dog Trainer!!

Pet care experience

Have your pup be under the care of an experienced dog trainer! Reactive, anxious, happy-go-lucky? I can handle them all! We have a large fenced in yard and lots of local trails to walk on, too! I require bookings to be made one week in advance. Dog walks: may be walked with multiple dogs. If your dog requires a private walk, please let me know. Boarding: For the safety of my pack, we do not offer home tours, but I am happy to send you photos of your dogs throughout the stay, as often as you’d like, or even face time! Your dog must be well tempered, non destructive, and be able to be left home alone for at least 2 hours. They must also get along with other dogs, otherwise they need to be crated when left alone. I will not use my time to crate train your dog during their stay. Training will be required beforehand! **bookings of 1 week or more will be split up in weekly increments or every 7 days for payment purposes. THANK YOU! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to message me! Instagram: @thecanineexplorers ——————————— ABOUT ME: I’m a responsible, caring and kind dog professional whose top priority is making pups feel safe and loved. I've been a professional dog sitter for almost 10 years, professional dog training for 5 of those years. I’ve also volunteered at a Dalmatian Rescue. Dalmatians have huge personalities and some can be super strong pullers with different temperaments, so I’ve learned to work with dogs with a variety of needs early on. I also had my fair share of walking dogs as small as chihuahuas and as large as great danes! I've cared for puppies and even senior dogs, too! I've always been an animal lover. My dad got me my first dog when I was seven years old (a Min Pin) and he was my best friend! He taught me responsibility and compassion early in life. I've had a dog ever since — I can't see myself ever living without one! They are so smart and so much fun to be around. I feel that everyone deserves a chance to have a dog, so being a dog professional lets me support dog owners who need an extra hand. I feel like dogs are really my calling. I enjoy them so much and I am told that my abilities with dogs are amazing. I’ve spent years reading up on dog behavior, nutrition, etc to know plenty on their body language and food and how it can affect their behavior. I am very knowledgeable in canine health and have a holistic approach to their wellness. I have hands on experience training hundreds of dogs and have been told by dogs’ owners to "teach them my ways!” My ability to adapt and react to uncertain situations sets me apart from less experienced sitters.

She was very accommodating with coming over to meet the dogs for the first time! She understands dog behavior and I am confident for when she comes to let them out.
