Positive Reinforcement
Dog Training
I'm a positive-reinforcement dog trainer and I can teach you how to coexist with the animal living in your home without using force or domination. We'll start with an hour and a half long consultation to talk about your history with your pet and to take inventory of your dynamic and the behaviors you have already (knowingly or unknowingly) reinforced. From there, I require six weeks of sessions. Each week we will do a teaching session (one hour) and a follow up session (thirty minutes) to ensure that you're fully supported to continue the work on your own. At the end of six weeks we have a reflection session. If you still need help, you'll have the option to book six more weeks.
Assessment/Reflection:

Pet Sitting
Head out of town knowing that your pet will be well cared for! Sweet Beast's standard homestay service includes three 20 minute walks or visits per day. A staff member will also stay the night in your home with your pet. We send frequent updates and a lot of cute pictures of your best friend while you're away.
Homestay package* - $100 per day
**Please note that we do not spend 100% of our time at the client's homes during homestays, but we will spend a lot of extra, unscheduled time with the pets we are caring for. This extra attention is already included in the service.
TLC for Your Elderly, Sick or Dying Pet
It can be hard to leave the house or care for oneself when a beloved companion is going through a hard time. Sweet Beast can step in to be an extra pair of eyes on the scene, carry out a demanding routine and comfort your critter with lots of love and attention.
