5.0

I've spent my entire life around dogs and cats, and have spent a significant amount of time researching dog behavior and training. I have lots of experience with reactive dogs, and thus feel comfortable with dogs (and cats!) of any temperament and age. My first priority is safety of both the animal and everyone around them. As such, I will never do on-leash greetings with your dog and any other dog, nor will I ever take your dog off leash for any reason. My second priority is building a trusting relationship with your animal(s). I am willing to take things as slow as needed to develop that trust, and feel confident in my ability to read animal body language and never push an animal over its threshold. I value trust and communication between myself and you, as well, and it's important for me to feel that we have open lines of communication. I will not judge you for any quirks your animal may have, but it is crucial that they are disclosed to me so that I can take the best care of them and keep everybody involved safe! I truly love animals and will love them like they are my own. (I can also do reptiles)
