My dogs are all XL and can be a handful; she's got them wrapped around her treat-filled fingers! And my cats (who are a little spooky) treat her like a member of the family! I love that I get daily updates and photos, and I know I can trust my house and the health and happiness of my herd with Dionna when I'm gone. It makes vacations and travel for work so much easier. She is very communicative via various ways (text/email/phone) and she keeps the house spotless. I thoroughly recommend Dionna!

From the owner: I have LOVED animals my ENTIRE LIFE and have an affinity for dogs especially (GOD spelled…read morebackwards). I have never been without a dog. I started off the early age of five caring for our family Scottish Terrier, Scottie, as a puppy until he was 13 years old. Then, I fell in love with Dachshunds; like they say "you can't just have one," so at one time, I had three males (Rusty, Rex & Riley) for almost 10 years. To date, I've rescued seven (my eldest, Missy, who I was gifted at the age of 11 weeks old lived a full and MUCH LOVED life for 18 years old). My current, mini-Doxie, Riley (featured on my Home page), is an easy-going little guy who loves everyone, is placid and docile. He's famous for his kisses, if you don't mind having your face licked. We enjoy a variety of activities including hiking, playing tug and fetching, which is an unusual and unique interest for the breed. My one and only cat was an orange tabby named Magic, but I haven't had any more kitties since him as he was a one-of-a-kind feline who thought he was ​a dog! LOL! I've been a Reiki Master (attuned '98) and offer healing energy to any fur-baby for calming energy is there's a storm approaching, a minor injury and the like. I also use alternative medicine such as homeopathy, herbology, etc., as needed. I hope you'll reach out to me to care for your beloved four-legged(s) and/or winged feathered friends (sorry, no reptiles, please).

As the story goes:…read more Once upon a time there was a breeder of Champion Rhodesian Ridgebacks that go by the business name of Shabani, located in northern New Hampshire. A litter of eleven came one day to the said breeder and all the puppies found happy and loving homes, or so was the hope. The largest of these little bundles of joy, standing tall above his litter mates was a leggy, confident young male named Stormageddon. With no big dog experience, a well intentioned airline pilot purchased the young buck and off they went only to find out that special dogs need special training and attention. In the midst of this, there was a court battle a brewing between Stormageddons parents owners. Stormageddons father Johnny, a multiple winner of championships and number seven Rhodesian in the country and Athena, his mother. Athena's keeper's were not of the moral fabrics that should keep fish, let alone championship Ridgebacks but I digress. After a few new attempts at ownerships of this stalwart young lad, a good fit just was not on the radar, yet the court battle raged on for ultimate ownership of Storm ---- un-benonced to his young eyes, his forever home -- a place of safety and stability was now so near. You see young Billy, there is justice in the world. And with the tireless efforts of a few amazing women, the ownership passed to a man from NYC with a older alpha female, a Rhodesian Putt bull mix who adopted young Stormageddon as if he were her own. Now living in a beautiful home in Forest Hills as one big happy family, each with their own room, (but they rather both sleep in mine, on my bed) I shout out from the highest mountain tops --- words of praise and thanks to all of the good ones, the ones who put my loving boys needs first as a living, breathing animal with feelings and emotions and not just an object. With that I say "Cheers" to The Dog House at Working K9 services for their undying desire to help the process along the way and the efforts undertaken to see this harmonious transition take place.

We live in Brooklyn and got our first dog this summer. #pandemicpuppy From the start we realized we…read moreneeded a lot of training and we went through a thorough research and interview process to determine we wanted a board and train program. During this process we conducted consultations with several trainers throughout NYC and when we finally connected with Anna we were impressed with her extensive knowledge of dog training that was far beyond what we had encountered with other trainers. Anna has a three pronged approach of positive, corrective, and relaxation techniques which is a much more holistic approach than we encountered when we interviewed other trainers. Anna's focus on relaxation is different than any trainer we interviewed or worked with which teaches dogs how to exist in a calm state, which becomes homeostasis. This is what we wanted most with our dog so that we can all peacefully coexist together. Anna's home and dog training quarters are in a beautiful setting with a gorgeous view of Mt Ascutney. There is a lot of open outdoor area for the dogs to learn off-leash skills and to have exciting distractions such as goats and other dogs. Having a calm, natural setting is a benefit which is allowing our dog to master foundational skills without other distractions. However, because Anna knows that we will be brining our dog back to the city, she has taken our pup to busier areas to work on training with other distractions. After 10 days we met up with Anna and our dog to get some training transferred to us and it was like meeting a different dog. Our dog has already learned great leash skills and is able to be around other dogs and people without becoming overly aroused. She is immediately responsive to all major commands. Anna is also working on house training issues and helping our pup to learn to go outside. Initially our dog wasn't able to go outside because she was becoming too distracted when we were in the city. When we dropped our pup off she was newly recovering from being fixed and Anna's background as a nurse made us feel more at ease knowing that she would be attentive to her healing. Anna's depth of knowledge and clear instructions with us has already helped us learn so much about how to engage with our dog. We are so happy we found her services! I'm surprised that there aren't more 5 star reviews here that sing her praises. Thank you, Anna!
