I've owned a dog since I was 10 years old and have loved dogs from day one. I'm a recent graduate of an MSc in Biodiversity and Conservation, so my passion for animals is deep in all aspects of my life. I have owned a dog, Pogo, up until January of 2018 when he unfortunately passed away, so having the opportunity to be around dogs again is something I'm delighted to be able to do. What I can offer: I make sure to keep up to date on information about behaviour and training so as to keep all the doggies I meet happy and safe! I can also help to teach basic obedience and reinforce positive behaviours. I've trained several rescue/foster dogs and have a good amount of experience. Sit, stay, lie down, leave it, recall, dropping and not jumping up are examples I can help to teach, as well as a few tricks such as shake, roll over, and basic agility training. I can also offer other pet care. I have experience caring for other pets such as cats, birds, and reptiles, so I can pet sit extra pets if required.
