I’m a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with 4 years experience working with dogs professionally, and I was a part time pet-sitter for 15 years. I love all animals. I received my training at a positive-reinforcement based dog training facility which hosted group classes, puppy socials and puppy camps. I have experience working with dogs at all comfort and skill levels. I am looking forward to meeting some new dogs and cats (and hopefully some other pets, too!) in my neighborhood. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified, and took a course on caring for senior pets. Growing up my family had nearly every pet you can think of: dogs, cats, chickens, goats, reptiles (snakes and an iguana) ducks, a pot belly pig and a cow. My cat Magnolia can vouch for my petting abilities, and I also have some human references who can attest to my dog walking and animal handling skills. I was a volunteer at Nevada Humane Society where I learned basic techniques for working with shelter dogs and cats. I am patient and gentle while understanding appropriate boundaries and behavior correction techniques (positive reinforcement all the way!) The comfort, safety and happiness of your pets are my highest priority.
