I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10 when I started house sitting for my neighbors and word spread quickly! A few years later my family adopted a Border Collie and a Pitbull mix. Our Border Collie had high energy levels until she was about 7 years old and recently passed away at 14 and our pit (11) developed some pretty serious reactivity to other dogs and people. My partner Kenya and I currently have a one year old Australian Shepherd. I have lots of experience with high energy dogs, and believe that a tired dog is a happy dog. However, that doesn’t just involve physical exercise but also mental exercise. I’ve been training our Aussie pup since we got him so I’m very patient with teaching dogs new behaviors. We’ve worked on tricks as well as the basics and some more advanced obedience work, to include a solid off leash recall. We are happy to help with providing consistency during the various phases of training! I also have experience with dog-reactive pups from my childhood dog and a few clients on Rover. I am patient with them working through their big feelings toward other dogs and people.
