The How and the Why
I have always been an animal lover and have had a plethora of different pets in my lifetime. I have worked in Emergency Veterinary medicine and learned about animal behavior from the Cornell University behavior consultants we would frequently have in the clinic.
In 2016 my husband and I adopted our rescue dog Astrid and I immediately took to her care, trying to learn and cram every bit of missing animal behavior and training information I could. I learned through her just how much I enjoy working with dogs, so much so that we opened our home to a second dog.
Freyja was a project dog, she was a resource guarder (toys and food), leash reactive, and reactive to other dogs and people passing by. We worked together for 7 months and she became a better happier dog, she was able to share toys, she wouldn't growl bark and lunge at strangers or other dogs, and was even able to go to dog parks without any incidents or issues. Freyja sadly is no longer with us.
My pet care business is dedicated to my dogs Astrid and Freyja, they taught me that nothing worth having in life comes easy, that the love of a dog is truly unconditional, and that they are worth every thing we do for them and so much more. My love for them pushed me to learn more and grow in the animal care field.
I am continually learning new things, buying new books, asking questions of other pet professionals, and will continue to do so.
Your pets are your family, and when they are in my care they become part of my family. Their health, safety and happiness are important to me, and I will do everything in my power to ensure that they always have a wonderful experience with me.
