4+ years of dog training experience

Pet care experience

Thanks so much for checking out my profile! I'm very excited for you to get to know me better and hopefully find me to be a good match for you and your dog! I worked as a professional trainer for a company for nearly two and a half years. Now I currently I work for myself as a dog trainer in addition to my full time job. Before that I volunteered at an animal shelter for three years and walked a wide variety of dogs there as well. I am currently working in a vet clinic as a vet assistant. As a trainer I have worked with all kinds of breeds and behavioral problems, including, dog reactivity, pulling on lead, fearfulness, and human reactivity. One of my favorite area to work on with client dogs is good manners on a walk. I truly believe that owners and dogs who take lots of walks, and truly enjoy those walks, will be happier. But I understand that life is sometimes busy! So I am here to help and get your dogs out and about when you are unable. I have two dogs of my own, one who used to be very dog reactive and the other who is nervous around new people. I understand how difficult it can be to find people you can trust to take care of your pets, especially for those of us with more "difficult" dogs. I am comfortable using any and all types of training equipment that you may be using for your dogs. I am also comfortable with dogs that might need a bit of a more slow or sensitive interaction. I would love to provide the exercise your dogs love and am very passionate about not only physical exercise but mental exercise as well! If your dog doesn't really enjoy walks, I can drop by and give them a potty break in the yard and a snack if you choose. I look forward to talking with you further and setting something up so I can help both you and your dog!

Nadine did a wonderful job with our 10 lb Chihuahua, Burt! She sent us lots of pictures and gave us all the information we needed without me even having to ask. Nadine is a vet tech and is clearly very knowledgeable about caring for dogs. At one point in the visit when Burt didn't seem interested in food, Nadine made sure to let us know but also assured us that everything else was normal. She also let us know when he was back to eating normally. 10/10 we'll book Nadine again!

I have known Nadine for a little more than a year. She has always been dedicated to not only her own dogs, but to understanding dogs in general. I have always been impressed with the amount of time and energy she spends learning about dogs and how to work with them. She is dedicated, professional, kind and compassionate. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their dogs. I know she will treat your pet with the same love and attention she would give her own. Your dog will love her too!

Nadine is the best! One of my dogs is very fearful and Nadine is nothing but patient with her. I wouldn't trust anyone else to put in as much effort as she does. She is very skilled and knowledgeable and takes the time to work with the dog in front of her.

Nadine is a godsend! She is professional, patient, kind and most importantly great with animals. My 8 month old lab is a hand full and she knows all the tricks to get him to behave. I trust her to get the job done and done well. Highly recommend her!

Safety, trust & environment

I am very conscious of making sure that your pets are safe and secure both on your property and on a walk. Before we leave I am always sure to check the equipment we will be using to ensure it is put on properly and your dog cannot excape it. I will never leave your dogs unattended in the yard and of course be sure to keep a close eye on them at all times.

Information Nadine L. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. I would like to know any behavioral problems your dog may have. I would also like to know if they have any food allergies/sensitivities or if you have special criteria for the treats they can have.

A typical day

I am more than happy to take your dog on whatever type of walk they are used to. If they like to explore around the neighborhood we can do that! If they are more a stroll and sniffer that's great too! Even if they prefer a quick trip to the yard and then have some one on one time in doors! I will do whatever I can to give them something to do that they will enjoy!
