Positive reinforcement focused
Pet care experience
Here for all your walking needs. I'm skilled at working with dogs with mild behavioral problems, such as aggression towards other dogs while on leash or skittishness around other dogs or people. I have a confident, no nonsense attitude for dogs that also focuses on positive reinforcement through verbal, sensory and food rewards. If you have specific tasks or difficult things you are working on, let me know and I will be happy to work them into the time I spend with your dog. As a trained social worker, I'm very focused on looking at the reason for a behavior and working it through with you and your dog, instead of punishing for bad behavior. If that sounds appealing and useful to you, let's chat!
Reviews
Shivani went the extra miles and cleaned up a mess that my puppy had made before she arrived. I will definitely use her again
Shivani is great with Huck, she is patient and sweet with him which I appreciate bc hes an older guy:) She always gives me a detailed update of their visit so I know how he is, including nice pictures! She responds quickly to requests too which is great. Thanks Shivani!
Simon loved Shivana! ?
Really impressed with the way Shivani approached and handled Brewer, who is working on getting comfortable with new people in our home. Her description of herself as "no-nonsense" is accurate, but it's also evident that she is knowlegeable, patient and kind. Things started off shaky, but she didn't bat an eye. By the next visit brew was wiggling to see her - once he pulled himself together from hearing a knock at the door... Lol - it's a work in progress. Feeling very positive overall and excited to see them continue to build a good relationship.
About Shivani S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I follow the rules and order of the house, trying to keep to a consistent environment and routine. If a certain route matters, we’ll do that. If a certain toy has to be there, we’ll get it.
Information Shivani S. would like to know about your pet
I love to know any of their quirks, favorite toys, things they love and hate and what your preferences are on commands, reinforcement and leash work.
A typical day
We’ll do a short walk, some fetch if that’s what they love or a little tug of war or just lounge if what they need is some quiet and pets. I’m very about meeting a dog where they are.

Availability
I work primarily from home, so I can sometimes take more urgent requests. I am also able to come more frequently on weekends and holidays.
