Dogs and Pets
The bond between humans and pets can be intensely strong and magically special. Your outcome depends on the effort you put into the process of creating solid communication and the level-setting of expectations for your relationship. You can hardly expect an unwavering "sit" if you have not put the time into working with certain distractions.
My philosophy follows the positive reinforcement methods of dog training, but I'm more apt to connect you with reputable trainers. My goal is the be the first person you contact when you get a new dog so you can ask all of those first-timer questions and get started on the right paw.
I also provide peace of mind house and pet-sitting services for when you can't be home with your favorite companion(s).
