Patient and Compassionate Pet Care
Pet care experience
I’ve spent my life surrounded by animals of many different species (dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, birds, reptiles, horses, chickens, cows, sheep, and goats!), due to this I have gained a deep appreciation for animal behaviour and welfare. I specialize in fearful, reactive, and aggressive dogs, but I’m more than happy to care for laid back pups as well! I have many years of experience handling dogs with behavioural concerns, and I am comfortable accommodating most behaviours. Meet and greet’s are required for all new clients - I ask that any behaviour concerns are brought up at this time. I am a strong advocate for the humane and ethical treatment of all animals, and recognize that all animals deserve to live a happy, healthy, and enriched life — whatever that looks like for them. I have attended countless webinars on animal behaviour and handling, as well as having hired professional trainers to guide me on my journey. I have the long term goal to pursue a career as a certified professional animal trainer! I volunteer with the PG Humane Society, the BCSPCA, the Prince George Therapeutic Riding Association, BC Wildlife Federation, Northern Bear Awareness Society, and the Auxiliary to UHNBC. Through my training with BCSPCA I have earned my Fear Free certification, and I access the continuing education provided via Fear Free.
Reviews
Could not be happier!
I can't say enough good things about my experience with Leah! My dog has always been on the difficult side when it comes to walking (lots of pulling, and prey drive) and Leah handled her like a dream! She took the time to learn my dogs needs, and accommodated to them as well. Nobody I'd rather trust to leave my dog with, and will definitely continue working with Leah in the future! She also gave some great tips to help with some of my pups behaviours at home!
About Leah W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my number one priority, I will never put an animal in a situation which they are not prepared for. You can trust that your animals will be treated with the utmost kindness and respect. I am fiercely protective of the animals in my care, I have taken a defensive handling course, and carry different deterrents should we encounter a dangerous animal.
