I have been around and loved dogs all of my life. I currently raise border collies and compete in agility and conformation shows. I also have 3 cats. 2 horses, 4 turkeys, 16 chickens, 2 goats, 1 sheep, 1 llama, 2 dumeril ground boas, 2 sand boas, 2 bearded dragons, 1 nile monitor , and guinea pigs and rats. As a former vet tech, I have experience dealing with a variety of canine health issues. As a dog trainer and dog training instructor, I have a strong background in training fundamentals. I have ample kennel space to board dogs. Dogs will have free range of my 3,000 sq foot home and will have nice long walks on my 5 acres. Our yard is fully fenced and dogs will have supervised playtime in the yard. Though I have children so I am somewhat selective of the dogs I keep at home. Dogs who require home visits will have play time and walks according to age and health. I offer dog walking, sitting, obedience training, and potentially boarding. My preference is to build a relationship with my clients and their dogs. I also have experience with all types of livestock and exotic animals so I have no issues caring for them as well. I am willing to drive within the Fredericksburg/Spotsylvania area between 9am and 3pm, though I can work around those time to accept dogs at home.
