3.7

Please read my full profile before booking. I can tell you confidently, that I don't just 'love dogs', or see them as my "furbabies." I respect them for what they are. Hello everyone, my name is Madison! I have a range of animals that I take care of including: a guinea pig, dog, and 3 cats! This supports my experience in animal care, and what to expect. Coming onto this app, I'd really love to work with, connect, care, and practice leadership with your dogs! I am an animal behavioralist, I understand dog psychology, and I can read your dogs energy and body language really well. I tackle behavioral issues, including leashed; manners on, and off walks, setting boundaries, limitiations, expectations, patience, and structure. I have confidence with training, and I can also teach various tricks; like sitting, paw, spin, and more. I am still learning more ways to help dogs that need more advanced work like, severe aggression. I do leash work, and corrections for wrong behavior. I have trained the Chihuahua Mix in my photos. She needed help with walking on the leash, lunging, and being less attached to her owners. (She had separation anxiety). Throughout our bond, I have been patient with her, always allowing her to take her time with things, to both understand, and adjust; I also have experience with an Aussie cattle dog that had issues with pulling, and manners. Overtime, I've been working with him using all methods to my disposal: calm confidence energy, treats, and different methods to ensure focus. (Without Krabby Patties!) I am very passionate about my behavioral work, I can help the dog gain focus on the human, to become a follower, and practice good self esteem. I can make a confident dog. Anxiety, bad behavior, pulling, or other uncomfortable issues arent a red flag for me. I'd love to work with any animal as long as they aren't aggressive, or has a bite history with humans (me included). I have loads of free time, and would love to share it with your pets! I commute using an E Bike, with long range. Active hours are 12:00 PM to midnight. Sometimes earlier, Sometimes later. I reply to all morning requests right when I log on at 2:00pm! NOTE ON BOOKINGS: Because true behavioral progress and confidence take time and consistency, I FOCUS MY SCHEDULE ON RECURRING, WEEKLY WALKING/HOUSE SITTING CLIENTS. I love building long-term friendships with dogs so we can actively tackle their habits. BOARDING: When I take your pets into my own home, I will provide a kennel for your pets to ensure safety, and separation around my personal pets that I care for. Please let me know if they're friendly with cats as I cannot care for any predator reactive animals. DOGGY DAYCARES: If you book me for doggy daycare, you are giving me permission to transport your dog to a place throughout the day, like a dog friendly park to burn off energy and focus our times training, playing, and getting into our own dynamics including obdience. (Never dog parks)! 3.7 star reflects an unfortunate, retaliatory situation that happened between me, and an owner. Their pet had bitten me because of undiagnosed resource guarding behavior when I was trying to play with their ball, and simply petting him. It has nothing to do with my ability as an animal caretaker, behavioralist, or sitter. Because the account was blocked and removed, the text explanation is gone, but the rating remained. Please dont let this scare you. As I now have experience with aggressive dogs.
