K9-Etiquette - In Home Dog Training Services - Sarasota, FL
With over four decades of hands-on experience in the pet care industry, I began my journey as a Veterinary Technician in New York City in 1978. Throughout my career, I have owned and managed four pet care centers that specialize in dog training, grooming, and daycare services. As a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KSA) for more than 20 years, I am dedicated to using reward-based and fear-free methodologies to ensure the best outcomes for your pets. My extensive background equips me to work with various animals, including dogs and horses, and I pride myself on adapting my techniques to fit each pet's unique needs.
I offer a range of services designed to fit your busy lifestyle, including Board/Train programs and convenient in-home private lessons. For those who prefer a more flexible option, I also provide "Telepaws," which enables me to work with you and your pet online. My goal is to foster a positive and rewarding learning environment, helping you build a stronger bond with your furry friends. Whether you need assistance with basic obedience, behavior modification, or specialized training, I've got you covered.
Ready to take the next step in enhancing your pet's behavior and well-being? With a commitment to excellence and a dedication to treating your pets with love and respect, I am here to help. Don't hesitate to reach out...book me through Petworks today and let's embark on this rewarding journey together!
