Pet care experience

I <3 anxious dogs and cats!

I seem to be a magnet for anxious dogs and cats! Both my senior cat and adolescent dog have behavioral issues/anxiety, and while it has its challenges, I find bonding with these guys can be the most rewarding experience. Between slow, gentle movements, not rushing a bond, and having lots of treats on hand, I've learned that "difficult" personalities don't always have to be so hard.

Safety, trust & environment

After adopting an anxious/reactive dog, my partner and I have invested countless hours into a training program that works for us. Through this experience, I've learned the power of positive reinforcement, consent for touch, and patience even when it's the most difficult to find it. I'm a huge believer in redirecting unwanted behavior rather than punishment of any kind. Love and respect is the driving force behind all of my interactions with animals!

Lauren was amazing! She found my scaredy cat and treated her with care. She also did a great job with banjo and fed her lots of treats!

I'd love to know your pet's likes and dislikes, any medical issues they have, and any negative incidents they've had with other dogs/cats or people.
