Pet care experience

All dogs that stay at my house are part of my family and will receive the best care we can give! We are available for walking and overnight boarding and are able to give medication, injectables, and work with senior and/or animals in declining health. I have previously worked as an Emergency Veterinary Technician, where patients were seen for sudden trauma, acute and long term illnesses, as well as ongoing outpatient care.

Safety, trust & environment

In 2011, I began being mentored by Jimmy Vanhove, who has held over 100 seminars nationally and internationally, mostly with a police and military audience. Through his training, I learned a calm and patient approach to each individual dog, even if they were highly reactive. Working with both handler and dog, we helped train dogs for the police, including two dogs for the Gendarmerie in France.

I started training my personal dogs when I was sixteeen years old just for fun. I would teach my wonderful lab (Roxy), to take off my slippers, or get the remote for me. It was just fun for me, and a few times we won trick contests at local dog events! When I turned twenty, I began to train my dog Elsa in the sport of Schutzhund, with rigid obedience training. This is when I began to quite frequently received calls and e-mails from friends, my parent’s friends, and people of the community to help them with their dog’s training issues, which included anything from poor socialization to severe aggression.
