Safety, trust & environment

Safety, and the happiness of your pup is always my first priority. I never give treats without asking if there are allergies or dietary restrictions first. When I go for walks or to the park - I keep pet corrector, and a slip lead on me in case of emergency. I truly care for all dogs as if they were my own and want them to have an enriched life. I also absolutely love taking videos and pictures of pups and sharing them with their owners so they can share their day together. 🐶💕

Information Tracy A. would like to know about your pet

if your pup has special needs, they will be very well cared for. I’ve administered oral medications and have cared for deaf and blind dogs.

A typical day

I love playing games with pups to increase their focus and confidence. Playing with balls, tugs, or flit poles is my favorite way to tucker your doggo out. Treats make everything more fun! Let me know if your pup is allowed treats and if there are any allergies I should be aware of.

Pet care experience

My journey working with dogs started in a dog daycare, where I spent my days surrounded by dogs of all personalities and energy levels. That experience gave me a strong foundation in understanding canine communication and body language, which is something I still rely on every day when working with dogs. Since then, I’ve continued to grow in the field and became a Certified Advanced Canine Training Professional through the Animal Behavior Institute. I currently work as a professional trainer at a board-and-train facility, where I help dogs build skills like loose leash walking, basic obedience, confidence, and better communication with their people. What I love most about working with dogs is getting to know each individual personality. Every dog is different, and I really enjoy figuring out what motivates them and helping them feel safe, understood, and successful. Whether a dog is playful, shy, energetic, or a little stubborn, I believe they all deserve patience, clear communication, and lots of kindness. When your dog is with me, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I truly love spending time with dogs, building trust with them, and making sure they feel comfortable, enriched, and cared for while you’re away.

I don't think I've ever met anyone who loves dogs, more than Tracy! She has extensive experience & is currently studying to be a trainer. She is extremely conscientious about the care of dogs, very focused on safety & compassion. Tracy is a reliable, responsible woman, who has a strong work ethic. She demonstrates a deep understanding of animal behavior & is always try to learn more. You can depend on her to take very good care of your pet!
