Farm care!
While most of my page is centered around dogs my first love in the animal world was horses!! I bought my first horse when I was only 16!
After that I continued to be a part of the equine world working for a few different barns. In my time I worked a variety of roles from barn hand all the way to an assistant trainer! I have experience with administering medication, recognizing illness/lameness, stallions, foals, pregnant mares, and pretty much everything in between!
So rest assured even if your pets have hooves instead of fuzzy paws they will sill get outstanding care with me!

Doggie Day Camp!
To any of my past clients in New mexico Foxy Face's Professional Pet Services also offers this service!!

Traditional "Dog Daycare" can be dangerous when dogs are not matched according to play style, size, energy levels, etc, and can expose your pet to illness. They can also pick up poor behaviors such as urinating indoors, or chewing/destroying personal items. ❌️

Which is why I am offering an enrichment based 1-3 hour outing alternative to 8+ hour daily Daycare (dogs require 16-18 hours of sleep per day 🫣)! During Doggy Day Camp, your dog will have one on one time with myself, a professional pet trainer/sitter, and we will spend the allotted time doing enrichment activities and focusing on outdoor based exercise!

Some enrichment examples will include, but aren't limited to:

🌳 Long leash time in different areas like the beach or trails!
🫂 Socialization/exposure trip to pet friendly stores!
🐇 Flirt pole exercise!
🐽 Snuffling/foraging for treats at a local park!
⛰️ Hiking new trails for dogs that are adventurous and well conditioned!
☀️ And even more!

Doggy Day Camp can be a wonderful, enriching, and more laid back alternative to the hustle and bustle of busy Daycare facilities. It can be beneficial to dogs who may have behavior issues that prevent them from attending Daycare, as well as to pet parents who want to ensure that their dog will not only have time out during their busy work day, but will also be in the hands of a safe, well trained pet care professional! 🤝

Send me a private message so we can get your dog started on a Day Camp Schedule this summer! 🌻

Taking your dogs food is an easy way to create if you want to be able to take their food without issue, there’s a better way than just snatching it from them.

Compulsion Based training is outdated period no way around it! We train with praise and understanding that our dogs have a learning curve just like our children may. Purposefully scaring or hurting a dog is honestly disgusting and I will not support its practice. If you need a quality dog trainer send a message❤️

05/28/2021

Venom update!
We have introduced Venom to my Dutch Shepherd we hope to use her to help build his confidence she is a very solid dog with a great temperament and confidence to spare! When Venom starts making outings the public places Lily will accompany and Lead example. We are still making great forward progress with my husband! Ninety percent of our training is done without a muzzle when my husband is not around ! Slowly but surely this boy is coming around!

05/22/2021

NAME UPDATE!!!
We have decided in line with starting a new life Kody is getting a new name! We now will be calling him Venom! Personally wise we think it's a great fit! (wasn't overly responsive to current name)**pictures before we ditched the pole**

Kody update he's doing well ❤️

05/17/2021

Don't mind my messy hair but let's talk about dog behavior

05/16/2021

Another Kody update**
This morning kody was able to slip his muzzle which took away the option of me getting him out of the crate without being bit. So our next safest option was a catch pole. I was successfully able to get him out of the crate and to use the bathroom and get some water without putting myself at risk for a bite. He seemed relieved that he did not have to worry about me being in his immediate space. One more day and we will be home and the real training can start ❤️
