Val has been providing professional canine services to this community since 2003. Helping people and their dogs learn, establish bonds, and maintain long lasting relationships, is her number one goal. Val's Positive reinforcement, non dominance based methods have been acquired and solidified through interventions with hundreds of dogs in this community, many years of education, and research and ap
plication of principles. She motivates and inspires people to learn about their dog and become desirable, well mannered canine good citizen dogs, that can participate in family and community activities as well have playtime at her 2 Doggie Daycare and Cage Free Boarding facilities, Send Rover on Over. Puppies Puppies Puppies!!!! Val is the author of 'P is for Puppy'. A Positive, Preventative, Proactive book for new puppy parents. This book compliments her Puppy Kindergarten Classes and Socials held at both facilities. Parents can meet and form their own puppy play groups, and puppies learn how to have a softer mouth and an inhibited bite through play with similar age puppies. The puppy programs promote educational and play services as well as providing a safe social environment and puppy personality temperament testing. Safe and early socializing is a key factor in this program as well. Leash reactivity and dog dominance aggression has become a very popular undesirable behavior with a good prognosis that she provides services for using non aversive behavior modification techniques. Val has been an RN for 29 years. Her Health Science degree compliments her behavior management programs allowing her to have a keen eye for a behavior that may well be medically related. This asset also provides for proficient communication skills amongst Veterinary Practitioners and their Team. Val is just a few classes short of having her BS degree in Animal Science with a focus on Canine Behavior. This is a new age degree that is on the interest list uprise and will become a common degree in the near future. Staying ahead of the game and opening doors of opportunity is nothing new to this entrepreneurial canine spirit. Besides being the first to open 2 doggie daycares in Simi and Ventura, she offers all kinds of sporting activities from Agility for Fun, Scent Tracking, Outdoor activities, and provides an indoor water park for dogs in Simi Valley. Val provides an uplifting, motivational, enthusiastic, loving, non judgmental approach to working with you and your dog. Thank you for Sending Val on Over
