I am a positive-reinforcement dog trainer and petcare specialist. I have professional training certifications from Karen Pryor Academy and Do More With Your Dog, with seven years of experience training and over ten years of experience taking care of animals. 🐶💕 NOTE FOR WALKING: I have experience walking reactive dogs and dogs who have displayed anxious, fearful, and/or aggressive behaviors. However, I do not take any dog that is not dog friendly (i.e. socialized) into my home for my family’s safety and your pet’s safety. Thanks for understanding! ———————————-—————- I care about your pet’s comfort and feel confident that I have the tools and experience to help. I’m experienced in creating a fear-free space through working as a trainer and will only use positive reinforcement training methods to help set your dog up for success in my home. I also have experience working with puppies, separation anxiety, and dog/people reactive dogs and will tailor your dog’s experience to your dog’s individual needs. My own dog is social with other dogs and loves to play. While I do not have a fenced-in yard, you can rest easy knowing that your pet is always supervised. Potty breaks will be taken in the backyard on a leash and play/snuggles are welcomed on the couches and bed. I try my best to make sure that your dog comes home clean and content! I always pick up after my dog and every dog that comes through my backyard to prevent the transmission of diseases and pride myself on cleanliness! I require a vaccine history for the health and safety of your pets and mine. Please disclose if your pet has any unique behaviors, allergies, or tendencies to eat foreign objects (or stuffed toys) so I can prepare accordingly. I prefer to take a single dog but if you have multiple dogs that are socialized together (in the same household) I’m willing to discuss. For the safety of our pets, I do not accept any dogs with a bite history and I respectfully decline to use any punishment-based training (i.e. shock & prong collars). I do not accept unneutered male dogs over 18 months old. I also have medical experience from working with veterinarians and feel comfortable with administering medications and/or minor medical services. Thank you so much for your time! I’m more than happy to answer any questions.
