Covid-19 updates to our service protocols to prevent cross contamination between visits.

1. Initially I will be limiting the number of homes I visit on a daily basis,

2. I will be asking if anyone in your home has/had been sick in the past two weeks leading up to my visits, and or exposed to anyone with Covid-19.

3. Even though I have an emergency contact on file, it will be mandatory that you provide a backup or another emergency contact, should I get sick and need to self-quarantine.

4. I ask you have soap and paper towels, and or hand sanitizer available for hand washing upon my coming and going, as well as disinfectant wipes to wipe off door handles, surfaces and even leashes and harnesses, or collars if necessary.

5. I have masks and gloves and will be more than happy to wear when in your home for your safety and comfort.

If you have any questions regarding my Covid-19 protocols, please feel free to contact me by phone or email,

Obedience Training: Having a pet in your life should provide you with great joy and companionship-not extra burden or an endless source of frustration, as is so often the case. Well behaved pets make your life easier and gives you peace of mind.
