Experienced Animal Care Assistant
|
I am an owner of a newly established dog walking business.
I cover East Ardsley, Barnsley and surrounding areas.
I have over two years of experience being employed as a dog walker and a year working in doggy day care.
I regularly volunteer for the RSPCA, I help out at their events and also help out with their dog walking. I also help out each Saturday with the puppy training classes.
I own my own rescue dog, Harley. I adopted him six months ago, he was due to be put to sleep as he had been in kennels for months. He was difficult to rehome as he was very reactive and the kennels believed he could be aggressive. I discovered that Harley was just a frustrated greeter. I've done a lot of research and spent some time training Harley with positive rewards based methods.
I know from experience how difficult it is to find a dog walker that you can trust to work with and understand your Reactive doggy. I am comfortable walking dogs that require more attention and patience. I am still doing loose lead training with my dog and am willing to carry on/keep to your training programme providing it utilises force free methods.
I have also volunteered in various rescues abroad. I've worked with and handled Tigers and various other big animals, small ones too!
I have my canine first aid qualification. I also completed the APDT dog trainers instructors course this year. I am now doing a BsC in canine behaviour and training.
I have a current DBS check, I am fully insured.
