If you have a dog that you don't feel comfortable with just anyone handling, give me a shout (or a whisper if loud noises scare your pooch) and we can talk about how I handle dogs and my background. I am both an owner and a certified (CPDT) trainer, as well as a Pet Professionals Guild member. And owner-to-owner, I have had the experience of loving a dog that's a little extra. I currently work full-time as a dog behavior specialist. I have a background in conservation research and have experience handling both wild and domestic animals. Locally I worked in a veterinary hospital for two years and have experience medicating animals and following medication schedules, checking respiratory rate, temperature, and observing animals for signs of medical intervention being needed. *I do require a paid meet & greet before accepting assignments.*
