I trained dogs in the 4-H obedience program for 8 years and trained other dog-and-kid pairs for 3 years beyond that. Dogs of small breeds, medium-size breeds, and large breeds--I've enjoyed getting to know each one! Clicker-training, Gentle Leaders, and positive reinforcement training are all in my repertoire. Beyond sit, stay, come, and heel, I've taught dogs to bring in the newspaper, differentiate between toys, shake with alternating paws, play dead and miraculously "come back to life," bow, jump over hurdles, walk slowly or quickly, turn in circles, walk backwards, and more! Want more from your dog sitter than sitting? Then I'm your dog sitter! Maybe your dog will know a know trick when you get home!
