Dog Trainers in Hawthorne

Hey! My name is Sara, I'm 26 years old and grew up in New York with cats, dogs, and a parrot. I recently graduated from school with a degree and certification in exotic and domestic animal training and management. I've trained a variety of animals over the past 3 years and can read your dogs behavior to ensure a fun walk and a happy dog! My dogs name is Rylie, she is a 10 year old mixed breed cancer survivor! I love enriching an animals life with fun walks to different places and occasionally work on basic manners if treats are provided.

I've had pets all my life but never worked with them professionally until 2011 when I got my first job at a doggie day care downtown NYC. I worked there for about 2 years for the first year I was the helper on the night shift and for the second year I became the manager of the night shift. In which I had 30 plus dogs of different breeds and temperaments under my care with no incidents. After deciding it was time to leave the daycare. A friend who use to be my manager at the daycare needed help with her dog walking routes. I started helping her walking dogs for about 2 years before I started dog walking on my own. At one point I had 15 dogs under my care before clients started moving away and some dogs passed away due to unfortunate disease and older age. I know basic obedience training and have helped a few misunderstood dogs live a better life. I've raised a few dogs from puppy to adult hood. And have helped a few dogs over come being skittish. Unfortunately working on my own things got difficult and I was forced to move out of NYC. But now that I'm back I would love to get to work with dogs again. It's the best and most fun job I've ever had. I have to admit I love dogs more than I like most humans. ^_^
