I'm a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, expanding my offerings to include taking care of pets through Rover. Aside from having owned various pets for the past 4 decades, I've also been professionally working for nine years as a force-free dog and cat behavior training consultant. Each time we interact with our pets is a potential training moment and learning experience for both the animal and the human. I have a passion for observing animal behavior and I use my experience to form and strengthen a bond with every pet I meet. I only use rewards-based training methods, and when your pet is in my care they will be treated with the utmost respect and compassion for what may be a distressing situation (i.e., being apart from you).
