Trained Dogs for 10 years Obedience

Pet care experience

Taken care, trained, house sat with dogs and cats, feeder and walk them since I was 10. I know how to handle and work with some of the more a difficult dogs all the way to the dogs that are very easy to handle! I work at Purdue Large Animal Hospital as an Animal Handler and am an Undergrad in Animal Science.

Safety, trust & environment

When I’m in the pets environment (there home) I make sure to let them know that I am not a threat. Normally depending on how the pet responds to meeting me let them sniff my hands and legs. Just for they know I am a friend. I also know how to gain trust in the more shy ones as letting them come to me. I also know how to safely handle them if they attack aggressive too!

Information Raquel W. would like to know about your pet

If the dog is friendly, shy or aggressive so I know in advance what I need to be prepared for. What kind of treats can they have, if any, and if they have any allergies. Finding out if the get along with other dogs, friendly to kids and if they have any favorite activities or places to go!

A typical day

Play fetch, tug of war, obedience training if asked and lots more. If able to we can go for runs in parks and walk the creek to watch the fishes!
