Introduction: Growing up on a farm in a quaint New York town ignited my passion for animals, particularly dogs. Upon graduating from high school, I delved into the world of canine care by joining a boarding/daycare facility. This experience granted me invaluable insights into various canine behaviors. My journey took a transformative turn when I welcomed Marley, a German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever mix, into my life. His presence inspired me to venture into the realm of dog training. I began by shadowing Marley's trainer, eventually transitioning into a collaborative role. Upon relocating to California, I seized the opportunity to return to the veterinary field as a Veterinary Assistant. This role not only deepened my understanding of animal health but also enriched my knowledge of behavioral nuances. My primary objective is to assist you in cultivating a stronger bond with your canine companion. I aim to equip you with the knowledge and confidence needed to elevate your training endeavors to new heights of success. Whether you’re here for pet or service dog training, our mission is to help you meet your personal goals, improve your bond, and make the household as peaceful and cohesive as possible. We want you and your dog to have a fulfilling relationship full of fun, trust, and respect. This includes incorporating boundaries and management into your dog’s daily life. We believe they thrive on proper structure through the understanding of what is expected of them. Dogs crave leadership and guidance from us so they can form a trusting relationship and live a happy, safe, fulfilling life.

I’ve worked with the trainer Octavia with my GSD. She helped train the reactivity and anxiety out of Shadow! When I need to go out on a vacation or trip I call Octavia and she does an amazing job taking care of my Shadow. Highly recommend for anyone that wants to train or take care of their dog or even puppy.

If planning to leave for over an hour at 9:30 at night kindly advise of this possibility and discuss what you can expect for what you're charged. I had no idea if I wanted a normal sleep over visit it required an additional $35.00 to promise to remain with my pets. I spent all night away from home staring at my dogs in video, not quite certain if the sitter was even in my home as no video in bedroom to see. Checking all night between dozing, at least they were safe indoors, anyway! I had to trust she was back and remained at 10:45 pm the night before my surgery a distance too far to go back home and make my surgery call-the reason I needed a sitter was to make my early surgery so far away. Polite and nice person but seemed very dull response and confused by my surprise and reaction. Her leader expressed the 'misunderstanding' and sent treats. Agencies are useless to finding trust.
