-Have formal education in dog psychology and experience in clicker training, games-based training, and regular ol’ behavior shaping through positive reinforcement. -Experienced in dog- and house-sitting for a shy rescue dog that required daily oral administration of medication and a particular dietary regimen. -Helped adopt a scared little neglected 3-year-old Havanese rescue and gave him love, exercise, training, and lots of affection. He started out afraid of and confused by just about everything and has grown much happier and more confident, though he is still as sweet and gentle as he's always been. (He no longer lives with me as the roommate who adopted him moved out; he now happily lives with his two dads and pug brother). -Previously volunteered at an animal shelter to socialize and train dogs. -I give each dog the love I would give my own, but with the routine of whatever the dog parent wants. I want to do things the way you want them done :)
