Comfort Zone Critter Care offers Fear Free®, force-free, positive, reward-based dog training, and pet sitting in your pet’s comfort zone - your home! As a professional pet sitter, dog walker, and dog trainer I am a member of and fully insured and bonded with Pet Sitters International. I am a Certified Professional Pet Sitter from Pet Sitters International. I am a Certified Professional Dog Trainer

from the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers® (CCPDT®). I am a Fear Free Certified Professional Trainer and Pet Sitter. I am also trained in Pet CPR and First Aid. I have been involved in the pet industry in many facets since 1995. I have worked in veterinary hospitals, in a kennel (both as an aide and eventually as the manager), in a doggy daycare, as a pet sitter, a dog walker, and a Certified Professional Dog Trainer. I graduated in 1999 from Rochester Institute of Technology with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. In 2019, I obtained my certification through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. In 2020, I obtained Fear Free Animal Trainer certification. In 2021, I obtained Fear Free Pet Sitter Certification. In 2022, I obtained my certification as a Canine Behavior Consultant. In 2024, I became a Licensed Family Dog Mediator (Training). My various positions over the past two-plus decades have given me the opportunity to develop advanced skills in handling animals and interpreting body language. I have experience with a variety of animals, including exotics. I grew up with dogs as a child. As an adult, I have had a dog, 4 cats, a rat, a guinea pig, and various reptiles as pets. I will provide pet sitting and dog walking services (whether you're away from home for business or pleasure, or you are working from home and do not have the time to walk your dog). Not only will I provide much-needed care for your critters, such as food, water, exercise, and any needed medications, I will also give them the love and attention I would give my own pets! Having your critter(s) be able to stay home, in their comfort zone, allows them to be more relaxed in your absence. I will provide private, in-home training lessons for you and your dog. Lessons will be tailored to your dog's needs and topics will vary. My pet sitting and dog walking service area is limited to a five-mile driving radius from my home office in Lancaster, and includes, but is not limited to: Depew, Elma, Lancaster, S. Cheektowaga, and West Seneca, NY. My dog training service area is most of Western New York. I look forward to taking care of your critters in their comfort zone.

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS ….

Not just for Christmas, but every day of a dog’s life – these are some of the things I believe dogs would want -

Gifts of love, kindness, compassion, understanding and knowledge.

Gifts of helping them feel safe, secure and protected in their environment

Gifts of unconditional love, second chances and a forever home

Gifts of allowing appropriate choices

Gifts of mental and physical stimulation.

Gifts of proper nutrition and health care.

Gifts of never using punishment, force, fear, intimidation or tools that cause pain.

Gifts of acceptance for the dog that they are.

Wishing you and dog’s everywhere a very Happy Christmas filled with the gifts that really matter!

Training Tip Tuesday: Dogs whose needs are met are generally better behaved. If your dog likes to tear things up, provide them with acceptable things and give them clear permission to do so. A lot of people tell me their dog tears up toys so they don’t give them soft toys. This tells me that their dog has an urge and real love of ripping and shredding but they are denied this. Often the dog finds other activities to meet that unfulfilled need (like destroying your pillows or shoes). Destroying things is a biological need for many dogs as it’s part of the hard-wired predatory sequence. Don’t try to suppress this urge. Instead provide them with opportunities to practice it or replace this behavior with other acceptable enrichment activities to meet their needs. Here ___ was given a clear go ahead to have fun shredding this box. Some other options: ✅ Heads of lettuce or cabbage (stab several times with a steak knife and shove smelly treats inside) outside only otherwise you’ll have a massive mess to clean up! ✅ Cheap thrift store stuffed animals (run through washer & dryer and remove any choking hazards). Let them snow your living room! ✅ Velcro toys (lots of options on the market to give your dog that satisfying ripping noise). ✅ Holee Roller toy stuffed with treat filled scraps of fabric (not for dogs who eat bits of toys) ✅ Cardboard boxes. A favorite for a lot of dogs! You can also fill boxes with smaller boxes with treats and other toys inside. Add difficulty by taping them shut. The key to a well-rounded, content dog is one whose needs are met while avoiding over stimulation. Dogs have different needs than us, learn what your dog enjoys and come up with ways to provide chances for them to do those things.
