Pet care experience

Canine Training&Behavior Specialist

I have been working in formal pet care since I was 14 years old. I have a very short list of animals that are beyond my comfort level (ticks, stink bugs, and kissing bugs to top the list). I am a Diabetic alert dog and Obedience trainer who is taking the leap from working for others towards running my own business; Happy to pick up the initial slack in growing business with the services I am extremely well-versed in. I also Offer daily dog walking at a slightly higher starting rate for leash manners training, long term leash clients will get a discounted rate for well-mannered leash walkers. Methods and tools (almost exclusively k9 Lifeline dog lead) for training day walkers will be discussed upon meet & greet. Will ONLY walk dogs on my personal slip leashes with owner approval of tools for safety, not worth your dog's safety to use anything else before I know you and your dog's capabilities! Obviously willing to make special exceptions for medical needs (special harnesses for dogs with trachea issues etc.) Special diets are no issue. Personally keep half kibble half raw fed dogs and know the struggle. Ideally prefer raw meals to be pre-measured out and prepped, but can address on case-by-case basis.

My dog is a very large, unruly creature who is not for everyone but I felt completely at ease leaving him with Linda in her dog-oriented home. She is clearly super knowledgable about dogs and dog behavior, and she was really accommodating of both my needs and his.

I would definitely recommend Linda! She is very knowledable about dog behavior and was able to care for one of my dogs that is insecure with new people and situations. She was flexible with working out scheduling and sent updates and pictures of my 2 dogs. Which I really appreciated!

Linda took our little pit mix who is a hard cookie and had him eating out of her hands. We are looking forward to her help with training. She is wonderful and highly recommend her services. Gussy loves her visits and gives his paw of approval.
