Hi, I'm Crystal. Currently I have a German Shepherd and a White Swiss Shepherd, who I train and compete in obedience and tracking with. We walk for 1.5 - 2hrs daily, rain or shine, and would love the additional company.
I'm home everyday, except for a few hours a week for erands, and in that case my partner will usually be home instead.
My dogs are very well behaved, but I always keep an eye out anyway as I enjoy watching their body language. This means I'm there to intervene when I see small stress signals like; ears back, lip licking, panting and pacing etc
I grew up with 3 small mixes who had behaviourial issues like resource guarding, reactivity and anxiety, so I know how to handle tough behaviours. I don't descriminate and take small and large dogs alike. It is how well they are trained and their manners that matters.
I'm capable of training pet basics; loose leash walking, meal manners, stair and surface reluctance, mild reactivity etc and have already had a few successes. π
I aim to reward owners who put the time and energy into training their dogs, and accommodate dogs who are not. Young, highly intelligent, energetic and prey driven dogs, without leash manners and any recall will incur a $3 walking fee.
I do not take undesexed dogs over the age of 2 unless they are a registered working or breeding dog from reputable organisation such as the ANKC.
I only take house trained dogs, and charge a diaper fee of $3 per accident. While I understand that even well trained dogs have potty accidents, dogs with more than 2, will be diapered and weaned off slowly. Please understand, that merely the scent of pee in the house can encourage other dogs to urinate there.
