*Exercising any dog before and possibly after a nail trim can potentially make nail trimming more rewarding for the dog.
Mobile Nail Trimming
&/Or
Dog walking-bike run
Calm, safe, and stress-free nail trims for your pets.
NAIL TRIM PRICE LIST:
DOGS & CATS;
1st ~ $15.
Every 2nd (same household) ~ $10.
*1 Follow-up nail trim within 1-2 weeks $5/pet - multiple pet households ~ 1 free.*
Added to a nail trim - DOG WALK /BIKE RUN: You may request, or I may offer, the added walk to a nail trim for an additional $5 for an approximate 10 - 30 min walk or bike run. (some dogs will tolerate a longer walk than others) Walks will be done within a safe radius to the home. With precautions taken such as determining length of walk due to temperature that day, and a 2nd leash attached for added safety (see pics on photos page), as well as the use of TRACTIVE GPS tracker I bring and use during the walk
If you'd like a dog walk or bike run (10 min up to 30 min) on a day separate from the nail trim, that can be done for $15. ( weather permitting) If you need your dogs taken for a walk on a day the weather isn't ideal ~ such as during winter, with ample notice I can bring my small treadmill to provide a indoor walk instead.
BIRDS;
Small/Med (Finch/Budgies/Cockatiels/
African Grey etc)
Just Nails $10. Nails & Wings $15.
Large (Cockatoo, Macaw)
Just Nails $15. Nails & Wings $20.
I Personally Do NOT recommend trimming flight feathers.
Trimming the flight feathers if/when needed ~ preferably after consulting a Veterinarian ~ is done to limit the birds ability to gain height and distance when attempting to take flight, if only training indoors. I'd advise to consider harness training your bird, and /or training recall instead of trimming flight feathers.
SMALL ANIMALS:
Hamsters, Rabbits, Guinea pigs, Ferrets, etc,
$5-15.
Lizards/turtles contact me for a quote, normally just a simple filing will suffice.
*Senior Owners (owners that are seniors not the animal): 1 free follow-up trim after initial trimming.
*If multiple people (with 3 or more dogs) are meeting up at dog park or By the Lake Park, I can be available to meet up for $5 each dog with Ample notice.
Training Sessions
Personalized training sessions for you and your pet's needs.
Training: Training is tailored to what you and your household desired outcomes are.
Training such as but not limited to;
Here are some not all of the possible obedience commands/cues that can be taught;
●Come/Here, ●Sit, ●Stay/Wait, ●Heel/By me,
●Paw, Spin , Stand, etc ●Slow,
●Give, Leave it, Take it, Drop it, Find it, Bring it,
●Settle/Bed/Place,
●Wait nice at door/Park it,
●Run beside a bike,
●Walk on treadmill,
●Get in vehicle,
●Wait (for food or going in or out of a doorway etc),
●Trade/allow to remove item without conflict,
●Sit for Pets from kid or elderly (Aka: Calm greet guests at home or on a walk, etc.)
●Up/Over, Off/Under
Etc.
*it's important to keep in mind each dog learns at their own pace and some may take longer to learn one or more cue/command than the next.
**also important to remember if one thing/method doesn't work, something else will, have patience.
***any situations of teaching a dog to wait builds impulse control, and can also be a safe guard in different situations.
****Households with kids: I can help
Teach the kids the safest way to meet and possibly Pet a strange dog.
*****If a dog is nearby or approaching you and you feel unsafe, staying still is far better than running away, dogs won't chase something that doesn't move (tree, house, street sign)
Starting with up to One hour FREE consultation to allow your dog (or other animal) to meet me, we can discuss what your desired outcomes are, in order to determine a timeline and to see if you feel training with me will bring success.
1 on 1 in home
Or Out in public (at a pet friendly store, local park)
1 hour $25.
$15 each hour thereafter. Even if on different day.
No minimum number of sessions required.
Unlimited text support to follow.
(Prices may increase in the future)
Why is it that my price for training is far less than private or group classes with most other trainers out there? Simply put to remain affordable, and be inclusive to any household regardless of budget. Beyond that I am the sole trainer in my business.
Group Lessons will be considered in near future if desired.
Training is only successful if both parties (trainer and client with dog) are able to follow through, without sugar coating it No training is 100% guaranteed, however being willing to see it through will give better chance at being successful.
Yes certain breeds are capable of certain things more than others. (prime example of this is Police k9s, dogs intended for guide dog service, scent detection dogs, etc) There are however many abilities that almost all dogs are capable of, basic obedience, agility, and fun things like swimming etc.
Grooming Advice
Grooming advice to help you keep your pets looking their best.
I will offer suggestions to help your dog (or other animal) cope with grooming if they find it stressful.
*I will always recommend any amount of walk/exercise before any grooming is better than none, it is always worth it.* Never underestimate the benefits of daily exercise, let alone when done prior to any potentially stressful event.
Advice on Grooming such as but not limited to; Brushing, De-matting, Breed specific clips, nails, etc.
Advice itself is free; however, if you require me to assist in or actually groom your dog the cost will vary depending on what is needed.
* For me to simply assist $15/hr.
* If you'd prefer me to do the full groom, Cost will depend on breed and length of time it will take.
Full Grooming: Complete brush out, dematting if needed, specific breed clip, nails, pad shave, ear cleaning. Send me an email, msg on fcbk, or text me with details and a pic of your dog and I'll give you an estimate of cost of doing a full groom.
If a full groom done by me is desired I will request the assistance of the owners, by doing so I can answer questions during the grooming or explain what can be done to make grooming more enjoyable for both the dog and the owner.
You can also find my tiktok videos related to this topic and many others at the bottom of the Home page - link below the map.
For owners whom desire to groom their dog on their own and simply want advice and info on how to, I can advise on what tools you can use for what you're wanting to have for a desired outcome, if needed I will lend the tools needed, and show how to use them.
