Mostly retired now, I volunteer with several non profits, HART, CATF and Elderdog Canada. Elderdog requires a criminal record check since they trust people to go into the homes of elderly and disabled people in order to help out with their pets. So you can be assured that I am a trustworthy person to care for YOUR animals! I've operated a home-based dog training and boarding business for the past two decades, as well as volunteered for and managed a BCSPCA branch. I have been a certified dog trainer and have an extensive education in animal care and behaviour. Meeting new dogs is still my favourite thing, and I'd love to care for yours! Dogs are most definitely allowed on the furniture and in the bed! If your dog needs special attention such as injections, ear cleaning or anything else, just let me know and I will accomodate. I can offer training for an extra fee as time allows, please call to discuss. Extensive experience rehabilitating fearful and reactive dogs using positive reinforcement techniques.
