Calm, fun and attentive care
Pet care experience
My moyen poodle Pax and I are excited to meet you! I am transitioning into a career in animal care & nature with a focus on dog socialization, training and positive play. We would love to help you provide more fresh air and exercise to your own furbaby/ies by way of off-leash hikes, structured walks and backyard games. With all animals, I am patient, calm, confident and playful when the time is right. I mindfully give them time to feel they can trust me. I believe in positive reinforcement approaches to training that don't negatively affect their lifelong mental health. Repetition without frustration is key; there's no point in making them feel bad about something they've done. They just need to prefer something else and be rewarded for good decisions. My goal is always to make them feel happy and comfortable.
Reviews
Marci and I had a dog growing up. We enjoyed taking her on hikes and just for walks around the neighborhood. Marci was able to help train her to walk on a leash, sit, stay, and not to cross a road without being cued. I also have two dogs of my own. Marci will walk them when she visits and she never forgets to include them by bringing them treats (usually organic) when she comes over.
Marci is a top notch dog walker and sitter. She is patient and loves all dogs. My dog Maggie just loves her to pieces. Highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a large, clean, open home with several cozy spots for dogs if we need to come inside. I am able to offer outdoor breaks in our fully fenced-in backyard and if you need overnight stays or boarding, give me a shout!
Home
Information Marci B. would like to know about your pet
Knowing their general schedule, temperament and diet is always good to know ahead of time. If they are anxious, let me know what helps to relax them.
A typical day
I live close to many trails and parks for long walks/runs and can take them to your favourite park if it's closeby. We can always play inside on really cold/wet days, too.

Availability
I often work from home and have a very flexible schedule. You can therefore expect your dog to spend lots of time playing or hiking and if there is something you'd like us to help with training-wise, I can probably fit that in, too!
