Paws to Hold Pet Service

10/25/2024

Hello everyone!
After a hiatus from taking clients while we relocated and expanded our family, I will be opening my books come end of November!

We are now located in Rock Hill SC!
I will be opening 2 spots a month for a 2 week board and train!
And a few openings for in home/ private lessons!
At this time I am not offering pet sitting this may return in the future.

I train dogs on a balanced style. Meaning we work to motivate and reward desired behavior but sometimes there are consequences for undesirable actions.

If you want to improve your relationship with your dog reach out and see what training options will best fit your needs!

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❤️
