Meet & Greets I offer a meet & greet for all new clients to make sure I’m the right fit for you, your pet, and your home. This time helps me get acclimated with your space and allows your pet to feel more at ease when the stay begins. I introduce dogs with an abundance of caution and always with dog psychology in mind to ensure a calm, safe, and respectful transition. Dog Walking My dog walks are never just a walk—they’re mini training sessions. I’m always reinforcing good behavior and working on basic skills. If your dog does well in public or needs to start that safe slow exposure, I’m happy to include park time, socialization, or light training like leash manners and car behavior. Just let me know what you’d like your pup to learn or practice—especially if you don’t have time to train it yourself—and I’ll let you know what’s realistic based on your dog’s breed, temperament, and trainability. I won’t waste your time or money trying to train a dog to do something it wasn’t built for or a job they don't want, it’s like asking a fish to climb a tree. I also offer hourly dog training for real-world situations like paddleboarding, biking, store manners, and other types of environmental training. Whether it’s making friends at the park, building confidence, or learning how to navigate the world, I tailor the time to your dog’s needs and your goals. I've worked with animals most of my life—including training horses and riding lessons for all types of individuals and needs. I bring the same patient, observant approach to every dog I work with.
