My background is in both animal care and animal training. I have been a horse trainer, dog trainer (Positive reinforcement), zookeeper, and vet tech (companion and exotic animal medicine). Understanding animal behavior is my passion. I am currently a member of IAABC (International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants) I am also working on my FearFree certificate. I have worked with all types of animals from horses, zebras, wildebeest, Rhinocerous, cats, dogs, and everything in between. I have cared for senior dogs, puppies, special needs dogs, and basically all types of dogs. Your pet will be treated like family and enjoy playing in the fenced backyard or hanging out in the many many dog beds in my home. We also have mini-training sessions just for fun. I am available most nights and weekends and your pet will enjoy their time in my pet-friendly, pet-safe environment. I am available nights and weekends and my weekdays are flexible to accommodate all pet needs. I make sure all pets are safe and comfortable in my home. I am available to pick up pets and drop them off to minimize the stress on the owner and their pet. When you board your pet with me your pet will be treated like family. I am a big proponent of the Fearfree movement and I work hard to provide a peaceful, but fun environment for the dogs. I am also trained in positive reinforcement and behavioral management. I also understand canine body language and I use that to help me help your pet have a more comfortable time while you are away.
