What do you love most about your job?
Helping both dogs and their owners. I volunteer at a rescue shelter weekly and see too many dogs surrendered due to behaviours that are so easy to correct.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My own puppy, Winston. I’ve had many dogs in the past but he was my first puppy.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because I care and I always do my best to make sure clients feel at ease and empowered with the tools I’m giving them while making sure to INCREASE the bond between owners and their dog(s).
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can provide general tips but it’s hard to modify behaviours or even teach obedience in absence of the owner and dog. Consultations are OK for new puppy owners.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Followed government directions/recommendations as they evolved over the months.
Puppyhood
House-breaking (potty training), crate-training, nipping and other undesirable behaviours (jumping, barking, etc). Socializing/acclimating to various stimuli (vacuum, claws, cone, etc). Basic obedience: Sit, down, stay, boundaries, intro to leash walking, etc. General advice such as crate placement, feeding methods, routines, play, bonding with family members, etc.
Obedience
Sit, down, stay, heel walking, boundaries. All taught using positive reinforcement methods thus encouraging a stronger bond between you and your dog. No aversive techniques are used or taught.
Manners
Prevent or remove behaviours such as jumping on strangers/guests, nipping, emotional incontinence, excessive barking, destructive chewing, counter-surfing, pulling on leash.
Reactivity (on/off leash)
Eliminate reactivity and redirect focus on owner/handler as opposed to various triggers (dogs, strangers, wildlife, fast moving objects).
