Difficult/reactive dog friendly!
Pet care experience
Dog training is my passion. Your dog deserves respect, understanding, and leadership in a dog walker/sitter. I will give your dog the time he or she needs to trust me during each meeting. That way we can always have fun with minimal stress!
Reviews
Willem is absolutely amazing! He is very accommodating and worked with me throughout adding a foster puppy while also walking my dog. He also works on training during walks and it is very effective! We have been working together for some time and I will continue to work with him!
Every week Will works with Jax, I see improvements in my dog and it’s been wonderful!
Will is great with Jax and Jax enjoys the time he spends with Will! Since working together we’ve seen so much improvement in Jax’s leash walking, impulses and his recall with basic commands. Jax highly recommends Will!
Willem is great with my dogs and they absolutely love him. Willem can handle even the most energetic or difficult dogs with ease! Highly recommend :)
About Willem D.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am experienced walking all kinds of dogs with leashes, harnesses, etc. from volunteering at the Connecticut Humane Society and from walking my own dogs. Every walk or visit comes with free training. I can focus on loose leash walking, impulse control, basic obedience, or anything else you request. Unless you have a tall fenced in yard, I will never let your pup out off leash. If I'm not comfortable with your leash or collar I might use my own slip lead with a stopper for safety. I am an excellent communicator and will never do anything without your approval. I'm flexible to meet your needs!
Information Willem D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know as much about your dog in advance, such as the following: 1. Do they like strangers? 2. Any behavioral problems (either past or present)? 3. What are they reactive towards (dogs, people, kids, cars, squirrels, etc.)? 4. Any health issues I should be aware of? 5. What's their favorite toy? 6. What training methods have you tried in the past?
A typical day
Every dog is different and loves different things, so a typical walk or in home visit depends entirely what your pup wants to do! Whether they love to walk, run, sniff, play with toys, receive affection, or all of the above, I'll find out what makes your pup happiest so we can use our time together most efficiently.
