Dog Trainers Bury St Edmunds

| I have grown up with dogs. Dogs are a big passion in my life. I love to hike and go for long walks with dogs. I will keep up with any training you wish to implement. I will happily administer required medication. I have a degree in Dog Cognition and I am currently taking a dog training course. I love dogs of all sizes and temperament. I keep my energy calm around dogs so that they can feel calm around me. However I get excited during play and when they exhibit good behaviour. I have one dog of my own, Penelope, and one family dog, Doris. I can walk your dog with mine or, if you'd prefer, just on their own. I look forward to meeting your pet!

| I am a hardworking and reliable pet carer who loves animals and enjoys having fun/spending time with them. I've grown up with them and always been around different animals all of my life. I've looked after a wide variety of animals such as dogs, cats, repltiles, livestock and small pets. I have trained dogs in the past to walk better on a lead and tought them tricks. I have assisted a large dog when she went into labour, and gave birth to her puppies as she was in distress. I helped to clean the mess so that the hygenge levels were mantained. As she was giving birth I carefully handled the puppies making sure they were safe and healthy. I then moved onto cleaning them up and transferred them to a more calm and suitable enviourment whilst she was still in labour. I stayed up with her over night looking after her and the puppies. By the end of her labour she had successfully given birth to 11 happy and healthy pups. The services I offer would be day/night sitting, feeding, cleaning up after them, dog walking and grooming such as (cutting nails, washing and drying them. Also potentially cutting their hair depending on what type of style you was looking to give them)

| Hey! I've always wanted a dog myself but haven't had the opportunity to do so (hopefully in the future I will!), but I've spent a lot of time trying to educate myself about the care in which a dog needs. Whenever I visited my family, who have dogs, I successfully, with patience, trained them the basic tricks. If training is part of your daily routine, I am willing to help you in doing so. I am happy to look after your pet with a lot of love and care and to keep them happy and healthy! It would be my honour. :)

| I have owned cats for over 25 years, so I am very experienced with our feline friends. I have owned cats of all ages, from 8 weeks old to cats aged 20, so I understand feline needs, habits and even managed to teach my current cats a few small tricks! I have dealt with cats who have been seriously ill and old as well as young and feisty kittens. I have always managed to bond with other peoples cats, and understand that they often need time to develop trust with new people but thankfully they’ve always warmed to me. When it comes to dogs I did own a young dog for 2 years so am not quite as experienced. I do however have a huge love of dogs, regularly hang out with my friends dogs and spent time working in a dog friendly (and dog popular) cafe where I was able to meet plenty of dogs, and even managed to develop friendships with some of the dogs as they came so often. Although it has been a little while since I looked after a dog solo, I am confident in my ability to walk, feed and carry out the regular day to day needs that a dog requires. I have no affiliation with a particular breed, however as a petite lady a very large dog may be out of my control!

| I have been interested in animals all my life. At home I have my own pets to care for which takes a considerable amount of my spare time; I have kept guinea pigs from the age of seven and a border collie since February 2015. My Border Collie was a rescue and needed urgent training in order to socialize with other ####.#### I undertook and he has now been able to take part in sheep dog training. I have also trained and tamed a relatives dog. As part of my Advanced Technical Diploma I have had the opportunity to work with a variety of animals and gain an understanding of their health and husbandry requirements. This has included: guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbils, hamsters, chinchilla’s, degu’s, rats and reptiles. To see animals neglected causes me grief and great concern.

| I have quite a lot of experience with animal care since I’ve been around animals my whole life, I’ve take care of things such as; dogs, cats, reptiles and small mammals such as rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters and Pygmy hedgehogs. I can do all the basics of taking care of an animal, I can also train dogs from a young age.

| I love all types of dogs, and would love to help out and look after yours should you need someone to. I own a dog called Milo, he barks when he is scared (he's scared of strangers), so I'm not afraid of dogs that might act out slightly. I trained milo myself, teaching him the basics (sit, down, stand, wait, stay, come, leave) as well as some others like (heal, close/open the door etc). I haven't had training by a dog trainer, but have learnt to see what works by training with my dog. Just thought I should mention that I am not a professional dog trainer, and this is something to keep me occupied for the next few months. If your dog has any special requirements such as medication etc I suggest we discuss it it to see of we are both happy that I will be capable of meeting those needs.

| On hand.. Qualified pet sitter and dog walker diploma. Your animals will be in loving hands. Little about me.. grown up in the countryside surrounded by dogs, cats, farm animals and birds. I am sporty and love being outdoors. My previous family dogs were- Rottweilers, spaniels, smooth fox terriers and Labrador’s. Currently have my own dog, cavalier King Charles spaniel and we love going on walks/playing/training her to do new tricks. We have found many great walks around the bury st Edmunds/Sudbury area ranging from 30mins to 2hours. I have my pet sitting and dog walking diploma, so your pet will be in safe hands. I am organised, passionate, polite and respectful. It’s important to get to know the animal/owner before and build a client base from there. My Time is flexible and can accommodate around your needs. Previous work involved walking friends/family dogs. Looking to expand into more areas and help out people in the area. Please feel free to ask any questions you have.
