Staycation with a Pro

Pet care experience

I am a professional certified Dog Trainer with years of experience. Your dog will be with the best. I only keep one pet per evening, so your pet will have my undivided caring attention. MISSION : to provide a caring, safe overnight or day stay in a very secure house with a high fenced yard. Your pet will be pampered and cared for like my own. Your pet will feel right at home, always having access to the outside with lots of space to run and play. The yard is very private and totally blocked from people walking by. "My motto is a well trained dog is easy to live with". MY QUALIFICATIONS : I am a KPA - DTP (Karen Pryor Dog Certified Dog Training Professional) and also a Behavior and Training apprentice / Canine Companion at the San Diego Humane Society. I have a lot of experience with all types of dogs, working with hundreds at our local shelter. I am currently working on my CCPDT dog training certification and a member of APDT (American Professional Dog Trainers). TRAINING METHODS : Positive Reinforcement means no pain, fear or intimidation to get results. As an additional add on service fee, I offer “Board & Train”. While your dog is staying with me either over night or for the day, I can spend up to two hours working on foundation training behaviors. I focus on positive reinforcement on what we want the dog to do, not what we want them to stop. My goal is for you to enjoy walking your dog again and have a calmer more attentive dog. Board and Train frees you up to spend your day as you like, knowing your dog is with me learning new skills from an experienced trainer. https://www.harmonicbalance.yoga/ Overnight is based on 24 hours Day board is based on 6-9 hours 1-5 hours in excess of either will be charged a 1/2 day rate. 7-9 am drop off 4-6 pm pick up I can also take your dog to a local groomer if you wish. Transportation and grooming fees from the groomer can be added to your daily rate. Your dog can sleep wherever they want. In their own crate if you have one, on a dog bed, or on one of several couches. Dante, my 6 year old sweet lab, loves all dogs. She spends a few days a week surrounded by dozens of other dogs, and is super friendly. She is extremely social and will be your pets best friend in minutes. Kiki, my cat is very friendly, but usually hangs out alone. Insured and Bonded In certain situations an additional fee for Overnight stays are required for handicapped, non- housebroken, senior, non neutered (intact) or non spayed, in heat dogs.
