A typical day
I also have a kitten. He believes he is my dog’s baby and he believes he is a dog. Do you have a gentle dog who has never met a cat? Would you like to get a cat, but you are unsure of your dog? Our cat is a great training cat. We can schedule a meet and greet to see if our cat would be a good match to train your dog. I have had great experiences with sitting dogs who have never met a cat before. By the end of the day, the dogs and my cat are sleeping side by side on the floor.

Pet care experience
I believe in a quiet firm tone to let animals know I am in charge. I believe quiet firm body language and words makes animals feel safe and secure. I try to read the body language of animals also and use that to work with them at their pace. I love learning about new dogs and teaching them new tricks. This stimulates their mind and is fun for them which makes them happy to learn more from me. I grew up in a home where dogs were bred and raised professionally and I have had 7 of my own dogs throughout the years. Four of my dogs were adopted as adults and had to work through emotional and behavioral problems to become wonderful dogs. I have trained on electric fences, gentle leaders, and prong collars. I prefer to use more gentle methods to work with animals, but understand that each dog has its own special style of training.
Reviews
My dog enjoys her time with Margaret and I have peace of mind while I am away.
Margaret is the best! This was Bertie’s first time at all-day care, and it was such a positive experience. We are delighted to meet Margaret and look forward to more fun times!
Great care for our dogs and clear instructions for us humans.
Boarded my three cats for the first time, because my whole house was being painted. Margaret and her daughter took great care of my girls and sent me photos of the kitties cuddling in bed. They stayed 4 nights and I had full confidence that they were in good hands!
