Deanna

I'm a personal trainer (for humans) and also like to call myself a puppy PT too.

Over the years I had been asked to walk, train and dog sit for various friends and family, because I'm known for my love for dogs, and so I decided to do it professionally. I've walked/looked after dogs from maltese, poodles and spoodles, to staffies, border collies and rhodesian ridgebacks.

I have a gorgeous rescue girl who is a kelpie/shepherd mix. I've trained her from the basics such as sitting and shaking hands, to stopping other not so desirable habits like jumping on guests, bugging people while eating, recall, and walking nicely on leash.

Seeing a dog wag their whole body in pure joy when I arrive, and seeing their happy face and wagging tail at the end of each training/walk/each time I return home, is what makes it so rewarding.

I'm also trained in WEBB bodywork massage for dogs. This can help your dog with calming, releasing and healing physically and energetically.

My services include:

>>Dog walking - 30mins - I walk your dog around your neighbourhood and then check them over for prickles upon returning. This can be a sensory walk (dog led), a training walk (person led), or most commonly, a mix of both. 

>>Dog training - 30mins - I come to your home and train your dog. This starts with the basics, and then compounds with more difficult commands, and environments. Please note that training and play time go hand in hand during these sessions.

>>House calls - 30mins - visiting your dogs/cats/any other pets at your home once or twice per day. This includes feeding, play time & even doggy massage.

>>Dog sitting - 24hrs - staying at your home overnight. I'm generally only working for a couple hours at a time, so am able to be home with your pet most of the day. If you are booking over a weekend, or public holidays, then I am home a lot more. While dog sitting, I also include daily walks/playtime (unless requested not to), feeding, and doggy massage (again, unless requested not to). If you require putting bins out/collecting mail/watering plants/other small household duties, please let me know.

After an initial meet & greet, please provide details for your dogs vet, feeding instructions, and ensure you have bathed your dog before house sitting commences.
