Hello, I’m Joy! With 15 years of experience, I have dedicated my life to enhancing the well-being of dogs and their owners. Being adopted myself, I believe that comes with a special level of understanding and empathy that allows me to work with animals, particularly those who have faced challenges. I have spent over a decade working with rescue dogs, helping them overcome behavioral issues and thrive in loving homes. This experience has deepened my commitment to every animal deserving a second chance. I specialize in training dogs of all ages, from puppies to those exhibiting aggression. My passion lies in helping rescue pups decompress in their new homes, providing them with the support they need to adjust and thrive. I believe that training goes beyond just commands; it encompasses understanding the psychology and communication styles of our dogs. I work closely with owners to foster this understanding, ensuring that both you and your dog can build a strong, trusting relationship. I have also discovered the wonderful world of Nosework with my own dogs, a journey that has further enhanced my understanding of canine behavior and how to engage dogs in a fun, stimulating way. Through Nosework, I’ve seen firsthand how dogs can build confidence and joy while honing their natural instincts. As I train, walk, and care for your beloved pets, I am committed to using positive reinforcement methods to create a nurturing environment. Here’s a more inviting and encouraging version of that section: My goal is for all pups to enjoy walking on a loose leash while wearing a harness, as this promotes their comfort and safety. If your dog has any behavioral concerns, don’t worry—I’m here to support you with options that will help us work together towards achieving this goal. I invite you to join me in exploring these enriching experiences together, as I believe that every interaction is an opportunity for growth and connection. I am excited to bring my passion and experience to your lives and look forward to partnering with you in caring for your fur family members! Joy
