About: Nice to meet you, you can call me Valley! Growing up, I always dreamed of working with animals. In 2018, my journey began working at a pet store, which eventually led me to my passion, working with shelter dogs. Seeing the difference I could make in their lives with exercise, enrichment, positive training, and lots of love drove me to become a dog trainer. I now wish to expand my horizons and skillset to your beloved dog! I'm working full time, but would like to take clients at any time, 8am-8pm Sundays and Mondays. I plan to eventually expand my availability in the near future. As people are, each pet is different. At client's homes, I like to discuss both the pet's and the owners needs and what our goals are in our quality time together. I check all equipment (collars, harnesses, leashes) to ensure safety. I provide not only physical exercise, but mental enrichment through training, puzzle toys, play, sniffing activities, calming exercises, and so on.
