Information Spencer J. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if your dog is reactive in any type of way, if you would like me to help with any reactivity or if you have special requests regarding where you dog would like to be walked.

A typical day

I enjoy training and working a dogs mind and body. I like to snuggle with dogs and help them feel safe and happy. I also like to challenge a dog with doing things they struggle with such as walking loose leash and following directions.

Pet care experience

I have trained and supported all sorts of reactive dogs with rescues. I have been able to help all types of behaviors a dog struggles with including dog, leash, and human reactivity, or just a very energetic dog who needs lots of exercise and/ training. I have a dog of my own who is high energy and super playful and I understand animal behavior to the fullest. I am a college student online so i have a flexible schedule throughout the week. This includes early mornings, during the day and evenings. I can work with your schedule to fit your needs. For maximum comfort for the pet, I am able to work in the home with either training or walking in the neighborhood. I am well organized and very detail oriented and well focused to prioritize your animals safety and wellbeing.

I have started taking my puppy to Spencer’s for training and sitting. Spencer is incredibly knowledgeable about development, how dog’s communicate, and all aspects of dog training. He has been incredibly helpful to me with suggestions and strategies to help my dog’s behavior. My dog has made so much progress. Spencer truly cares about animals and takes time to share information and follow up. I highly recommend Spencer and am grateful for his help and care of my dog.

Spence is a knowledgeable dog trainer who loves dogs and is pursuing a career in veterinary service. Most significantly, Spence loves dogs and he took great care of Habibi. Well, he was in his care.
