Certified dog trainer

Pet care experience

Hi, My name is Whitney. I offer pet sitting, dog walking and dog training services. I am professional and have been in the animal field for years. I was a veterinary technician for 5 years, became a certified dog trainer in 2006 and worked in the animal behavior department at the Jacksonville Humane Society for 2 years. I recently left JHS to pursue my dream of owning my own business. I have experience working with all types of behavior issues, dogs and cats. I have also owned exotics and farm animals

Whitney worked wonders with Baxter, a tri-color Welsh Pembroke Corgi. He was a terror when we would take walks! No matter how friendly the other dog might be, Baxter would lunge at them and bark his head off. Whitney came to our home and right away knew how to help us make Baxter a better canine citizen. Since he is reward, aka treat driven, Whitney showed us how to work together in diverting his attention from the dog(s) to his treat. With constant reinforcement on walks and using the clicker, Baxter is now a pleasure to walk. Recently we had an incident where I reached out to Whitney for help. She sent me a text with reassuring advice and helpful tips. Then she came out to check on our progress. Baxter and I - and Tucker my other Corgi - really appreciate what Whitney has helped us accomplish. She is caring, calming and so knowledgeable on behavioral issues! Thank you WHITNEY!!!

Whitney Haywood has an amazing gift...she loves dogs and they love her. Whitney is innately talented in her ability to guide dogs and owners to a better life together. She is gentle, respectful and patient with dogs and their owners. Whitney has been immensely helpful to me in helping to care for my dogs during my recovery...she is reliable, totally trustworthy and very knowledgeable in dog-human interaction. I have nothing but accolades for this wonderful lady. As a dog trainer and dog caretaker, Whitney is outstanding.
