I have been taking care of my dog for the past three years and became an assistant dog trainer after four months of having my puppy. I was raised with dogs and always grew up with 2 dogs in the household. When I was 16 I got my first dog of my own. He is a Labrador pitbull mix. I have had a strict training schedule with him since I got him at 4 months and when a local dog training company saw my videos from a friend they hired me as an assistant dog trainer. I worked with that company for 10 months before leaving for college. From working at that company I learned how to handle all types of dogs from varying breads to extremely submissive to very reactive dogs. I learned how to correctly train basic obedience from walking in a heal, to coming when called. I have also been trained and actively use prong collars and e collars on my dog. I have experience handling many behaviors in dogs and feel confident keeping your pup safe on walks or check in throughout the day! I am also available to do training with your dog on walks or check in's to teach them how to walk in a heal and learn basic obedience. With my personal dog we worked through reactivity towards bicycles and a very overexcitement towards other dogs. He can now walk past any obstacle I give him without having a care in the world. When I take care of your pet they will be a part of my family and any safety rules I have with my dog I will have with yours. I typically do not allow any dogs on leash to "say hi" to one another or allow your dog to "say hi" to anybody on walks. I also do not let any dogs off leash anywhere but I do have a 15 foot long leash that I can put them on to let them run around. While your pet is with me we will go on long walks, hikes, and have "sniffaries" around the neighborhood. Please contact me if you have any questions!
