26 years of experience First Aid & CPR Rover Protection Package Verified Background Check Rover 101 Prof Trainer w Care for Your Pups Dogs have been a vital part of my life for a very very long time. I’ve been involved with dog rescue (horses too!) and adoption for many years, and used my dog training expertise to help these frightened, tossed-away dogs gently reintegrate into environments where they would be cared for and loved for the rest of their lives. I coordinated with shelters to teach their shelter dogs what would be expected of them in a forever home. That helped tremendously in making the adoptions “stick”. And, if you have a recently adopted shelter dog, ask for a Custom Quote for training. Training while Staying with me: Making a difference in the lives of dogs and their people is my driving passion…That’s why it’s so important that I offer the option of training for your dog while they stay with me. To me, training for dogs while they stay with me, is one of the easiest and best ways to make a difference for dogs and their people! Sometimes the most annoying things dogs do, like jumping, barking excessively or pulling on a leash, are some of the easiest to fix. Training in Your Home: If you live locally, or you’ll be in the area for an extended period of time, I offer training tailored to your dog’s particular needs, and work toward having a well-behaved companion as part of your family. This training takes place in the familiar environment of your own home, at a time convenient to you. Custom packages available, please contact me with what your and your dog’s needs/wishes are. We’ll go from there. Senior Dogs: Senior dogs often have a difficult time in boarding situations. When they come here, though, they will absolutely love the comforts and care they will find....cozy, soft blankets and doggie beds. Toys and soft chewy things. Help to get up on the sofa, if they choose, and help to get back down. And all the extra sensitivities that Senior dogs may have will be cared for. Seniors have provided their people with unconditional love for many years, so they get that back here, just as they do at your home. What Beate would like to know about your dog: No breed preferences or exclusions. Breed does not necessarily determine the dog’s personality, temperament or behavior. Mostly, that’s a result of his environment, treatment and training, or lack of it. What I would like to know, is whether your dog has any fears, phobias or sensitivities. Is she afraid of thunder or loud noises? Big fluffy dogs? Don’t laugh. I had a guest dog who reacted whenever he saw a fluffy white dog. Really. So, is your dog reactive to anything, like the UPS truck, or people in caps, or some other thing? Is he sensitive to anything, such as being touched on certain parts of his body? Anything that you can think of, no matter how big or small, will help me provide the right care and environment that works best for her/him.
