Mabuhay 🇵🇭👋🏽 My name is Maria, and I grew up with family dogs from Pomeranians to Labradors. I’m currently raising a large mixed-bred sweetheart named Kayne who loves meeting new doggy-friends at the bark parks at South Pointe Park, 2nd+Washington, and Flamingo Park. I work from home as an airbnb co-host for the Miami-Dade area with Metellus Properties (SL#). We live near the ocean with a fully-fenced yard, and can host a maximum of 4-dogs comfortably in our home. 🚨 All dogs must be well-socialized with humans and other dogs. 🗒️ If you need help socializing your dog, we also offer DOGGY SOCIALIZATION TRAINING for you and your pup. Multiple session recommended. Inquire through messages. Our goal is to create a safe and secure environment at-home, on the streets, and in dog parks for doggies of all shapes and sizes. We believe consistent patience and training is key to long-lasting improvement in dog’s behavior. Responsible doggy socialization makes for happy doggies. 🌸🌸🌸 🐶 PUPPY CARE AVAILABLE 🐶 — pawfect for pups under 1-year old — recommend multiple recurrent sessions to best see improvements in puppy training — specialized care and training included when booking for your puppy for walks, boarding/daycare, and/or house-sitting 🐶 8 - 16 weeks 🐶 📍 exposure to environment ✔️ surroundings: traffic noises, public areas, and passersby of all ages and shapes ✔️ activities: transportation, car rides, and other dogs of all sizes ✔️ body handling: for grooming and other forms of handling, such as teeth brushing or checking for ticks 📍impulse control ✔️ commands: sit / stay / lie-down ✔️ positive reinforcement (praise > treats) ✔️ good habits : sit before meals, no begging for food, asking > demanding attention 🐶 > 6-months 🐶 📍polite play ✔️ commands: stop / drop it / no biting ✔️ know when to stop (and can follow the “drop it” command), what’s off-limits, and understand what “no biting” means ✔️ should know which household items are toys for playing and which objects are not 📍house training ✔️ crate training — positive associations with the “safe space“ through treats, praises, and games ✔️ paper/ indoor training — living in apartments or condos, your dog’s toilet area most likely will be a public place, you might want to limit your puppy’s exposure until he’s fully vaccinated 📍being alone 📍continued impulse control 🐶 > 1-year old 🐶 📍 basic behaviors — ✔️ sit / stay / lie-down ✔️ recall (esp. off leash) ✔️ loose leash walking ✔️ drop-it / leave-it 🌸🌸🌸 🐕 SENIOR DOG CARE 🐕 — extra special care for older paws ✅ soft, cozy dog bed and surfaces ✅ more frequent potty (as needed) ✅ rug and carpets for extra grip ✅ gentle grooming 🔲 doggy steps upon request
