Please disclose any and all behavioral concerns with me. This goes for your dogs and dogs in your neighborhood you regularly encounter. I always avoid other dogs/cross the street, and monitor for loading behavior, but any extra insight will only help me keep your whole family safe! That's my first priority. Lastly, due to shoulder injuries, I can’t work with medium-large dogs who aren’t leash trained and who tug on leashes. I am able to perform leash training for an extra charge and with regular visits, but for exercises purposes, I can only take large big leash-tuggers who live in houses with fenced backyards.

I love to incorporate a variety of enrichment and stimulation into our day. There are tons of ways to tire out dogs even on rainy, blustery days. I'm great at improvising and creating puzzles using dog-safe tools, like creating snuffle mats from blankets and towels or playing good old fashioned hide and seek. I enjoying teaching/practicing new tricks and going for long walks in the park when the weather permits- it's good exercise for everyone’s brains and bodies! I also like to load up and freeze healthy lick mats with pumpkin, low fat yogurt, or softened kibble/wet food for sensory soothing at the end of the day.
