Any size, any breed, any number of dogs! No additional charge for extra pets or multiple pets! I take care of, walk and work with breeds as small as adorable little Cha Cha here, and as large as Newfoundlands.

Your dog pulls? No problem! Your dog is reactive? No worries! Your dog has special requirements, medication, or other needs? As long as you communicate those needs with me, it's no problem at all!

I have never met a dog I could not work with. For some dogs it takes a little longer to warm up than others, but that's nothing that time and patience won't fix.

Book your free consultation today, by calling or texting 709-290-8110, or sending a message via Messenger!

Recall, otherwise known as the "come to me" command, is something every dog owner should put at the top of their list! You never know what could happen, and if your dog gets off the leash and won't come back to you, that can be dangerous for both your dog and others.

Just a general post here;
If I have recently missed your call or a consultation, please call me for a reschedule. The last two weeks have been really hard, with one of my dogs falling sick and very recently passing away.

I have a couple of notations on my schedule that seem wrong, and I didn't write down sufficient contact information to fix the errors that way. I'm so sorry for any inconveniences this may cause!

I'm still open for additional bookings this summer! If you need a regular dog walker, a dog(or general pet)-sitter or dog training services, please feel free to reach out via Messenger or call or text 709-290-8110 for a free consultation!

Thanks so much for the support!

Important Reminder:

Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus is a condition where the dog's stomach is filled with gas, food or fluid and subsequently twists. This can be caused by dogs eating or drinking to EXCESS in one sitting.

For example, you just got back from a hot run out, so your dog drinks an entire bucket of water. You could run the risk of Bloat or GDV, and it's better to allow your dog to drink in moderation, do not let them inhale the entire bucket of water!

There are plenty of other causes for GDV and Bloat, I'll be linking some resources below. Keep an eye out and keep your pup safe this summer!!

Commonly referred to as "bloat," GDV occurs when a dog's stomach fills with gas, food, or fluid and subsequently twists.

Be careful when taking your dogs out in the heat! During the summer, it's better to walk or exercise your dog outside in the early morning or in the evening after the sun isn't so hot.

Some dog breeds feel the heat worse than other dogs, it's best to look into what temperatures your dog is most likely to struggle at and bear that in mind when working outside with them in the summertime!

Summer is coming up quick! Make sure to keep an eye on that warm weather and bring a water bottle when you're out walking your dog!

Dogs can overheat, or even suffer from heatstroke if the proper measures aren't taken. When in doubt, better to be safe than sorry! Avoid walks during high temperatures, and make a habit of going early in the mornings or later in the evenings.

Stay safe!!

It's so sweet to see when our animals get along nicely with each other. Maya, the dog in the picture, and the dog my business is named after, is sadly no longer with us.

She is the one who inspired me to do what I do. After everything she did for me, I wanted to do something for her. My mission is and always has been to keep dogs out of shelters.

There is no such thing as a bad dog, just a dog with bad training! Any dog can be helped, any dog can be saved, and every dog deserves a chance to thrive, just like Maya did.

So you're a dog owner, and you like going to the dog park for a good long run! But every time you try to leave, you find yourself spending another thirty minutes chasing your dog around trying to convince them to come home!

It can be frustrating, and sometimes a little embarrassing when something like this happens! That said, reliable recall is NOT out of your reach!

Your dog knows that by coming to you, they're going to be taken away from the thing they want (the park).

How do you fix this?

Well! You have to show your dog that coming back to you is always a GOOD thing, not a bad thing! Try engaging with them more while you're out at the park, call them over to play tug-of-war with a toy, or to throw the ball for them. Every time they come to you, try to reach out and touch their collar or their harness before giving them their reward.

I do dog-walking in any weather (as long as it's safe to drive to your location, and safe to be out walking)! Rain or shine, there's no such thing as bad weather, only the wrong gear!
