Paws Your Stress - Dog Training and Dog Walking - Santa Barbara, CA
Are you grappling with unwanted behaviors in your beloved canine companion or seeking a comprehensive dog walking service that seamlessly integrates training? With over a decade of experience as a Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KSA), I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to each session. My approach combines dog obedience and behavior modification, ensuring your dog learns essential commands both on and off-leash while understanding the non-verbal cues and triggers that may lead to fear and aggression. By addressing these behaviors, I help foster a trusting and harmonious relationship between you and your pet.
In addition to training, I offer healing massage therapy as a Certified Animal Massage Therapist and a member of the Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP). My therapeutic touch helps alleviate sore muscles, support recovery from injuries, and ease mental distress such as stress and separation anxiety. Whether your pet weighs under 20 lbs or over 80 lbs, my services cater to all sizes and needs, ensuring that every furry friend receives the care and attention they deserve. I am also certified in American Red Cross Pet First Aid and CPR, allowing me to prioritize your pet's health and safety.
Convenience is key, which is why I offer mobile services right to your doorstep, serving a wide range of areas. Whether it's training or therapeutic massage, I am dedicated to providing personalized and effective solutions for your pet's well-being. My cancellation policy requires a 24-hour notice to ensure flexibility and accommodate your busy schedule. Ready to enhance your pet’s quality of life? Book me through Petworks today and embark on a journey to a happier, healthier, and more balanced life for your furry friend!
