Dog Behaviour Consultation - Right in Your Home!
Many of your dog’s behavioral challenges begin before they even step outside. That’s why I bring my consultations to you, addressing issues where they happen most. My goal is to help you and your dog build a strong, trusting bond where your dog naturally chooses to disengage from distractions and connect with you.
Every session is tailored to your dog’s unique needs, ensuring a training experience that is both effective and enjoyable for you and your beloved companion.
Pet Sitting for Reactive Dogs
As a pet parent to a reactive dog, planning a holiday can feel overwhelming. Kennels are not an option for dogs who are reactive to other dogs or people, and trusting a stranger to handle your dog’s unique needs—whether that’s avoiding touch or managing specific triggers—can be daunting.
My house and pet sitting service is specifically designed for reactive dogs, ensuring they stay comfortable and stress-free in their own home. By maintaining your dog’s routine and providing one-on-one care, I make sure they feel safe and secure while you enjoy your time away.
What’s Included:
Training Walks: A structured and positive walk to reinforce good behavior.
Feeding and Care: Meals served on schedule, just the way your dog likes.
Love and Attention: Thoughtful care tailored to your dog’s preferences, whether that means cuddles or respectful distance.
Daily Updates: You’ll receive photos and text messages to keep you informed and at ease, so you can truly relax knowing your dog is in capable hands.
My service is the best way to ensure your dog remains happy and calm while you’re away, giving you the peace of mind you deserve during your holiday.
