My Pet Pal Helper Britany! She has been a great addition to the team. She has always loved all animals since she was a little kid. She has been dog sitting for the past 5 years. She worked for a dog kennel that has provided her the skills to be around all types of animal behaviors. Learning the patience that is required when working with dogs with anxiety. She is very detail oriented when it comes to making sure she is taking the best of care of your fur babies!

Meet my trainer Val!

I offer training for pet dogs which include but isn’t limited to: reactivity, potty issues, resource guarding, leash walking, among even teaching smaller things like how to play fetch! For working dogs I offer service dog training or a more advanced form of obedience and socialization. For puppy’s I offer basic training along with socialization sessions.

Most of my experience comes from my life of being active in the dog community from a younger age along with volunteer work at shelters, training facilities, and even the prison program that helps place dogs with inmates to raise as amazing pets or service animals. I did this until I was officially an adult- while raising a small dog who was actively going through abuse with me. As an adult I began my own service dog journey and it’s been full of rough patches- but along the way I have started working on gear for animals. Like harnesses and leashes , stuff of that variety- I’ve met many different working dogs and paths of trI have been ‘working’ in some type of way to make working with dogs something I could do- even if on the side.

I have seen why some more positive methods may feel negative to a working dog and vice versa. I found the joy of teaching off leash work- along with training other dogs to help make the world a bit more comfortable for our ‘kids’.

A few months after my dog died, one of my best friends asked me, "What was the best thing about loving your dog?" I lit a cigarette I didn't plan to finish and stared at the leash still hanging by the door. "It's how they make you feel alive." I said.

Not in the dramatic, overblown way people like to talk about. No fireworks, no revelations. Just the small things. The sound of their paws trailing behind you, the way they press into your side when the world feels like too much. They don't ask for too much. They don't complain or hurt you in the ways people do. They just show up, every damn day, and remind you that even in the chaos of it all, you're needed. You're important. You're enough.

And when they're gone, that's when you really get it. The house feels too big. The air feels too still. But you wouldn't trade it. Not a second of it. Because for a while, they gave you something you didn't even know you were looking for a reason to stay grounded. To keep going. To keep searching for more.

That's the best thing. They make the world bearable in the little time you share together. They make everything feel... a little less cold. And I'm still grateful for that.

Having fun grooming this guy. He's made such an improvement!! He absolutely hates his face being done. Last time I got a phone call and when he heard the ringtone he calmed down after 30 mins of trying to fight it. Today I replayed the ringtone over and over again while I was doing his face and hardly any issues!! Sometimes you have to think outside of the box and do what works for the dog!
