What do you love most about your job?
I love spending time and helping one of the most awesome species on earth... dogs.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been learning from many amazing and successful dog trainers who help dogs to lead fulfilled lives as much as posible. I want to follow their steps and give dogs back.
Why should our clients choose you?
I take my job of taking care of all pets very seriously. That is why I am always investing my money in webinars, courses, conferences, books. I use harnesses to walk dogs and treats and games to train them. I also have a very comfortable air conditioned van with an extra fan at the back to keep the dogs cool in summer. If 3 or 4 dogs are to be transported at the same time, each one goes in a separate space, the cargo barrier adds extra safety for dog at the front.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes, I can provide consultations via ZOOM and the sessions will be complemented by an online course online that will have videos and free resources. PUPPY TRAINING can be done online. Puppy parent pick a 4, 6 or 8 week program (online) and we meet once a week to review the week and prepare for the next week. If you live in the Northshore in Sydney, the 4, 6, or 8 week program can be a combination of in person and online sessions. Contact Monica for more details.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I regularly clean my hands with an alcohol-based hand rub. I use social distancing. Payments are done via bank transfers. I wash all bedding and towels, harnesses and leads, and desinfect the van inside every week.
