Services
Training
Paw To Hoof Pet Services is unique from other pet service companies in that we are qualified and experienced in training dogs and horses. We work with dogs of all ages from puppies to seniors, on issues from learning basic commands to those hard to handle problems. Horse training services range from ground work basics to riding work.
As dog and horse owners know, every animal is a unique individual. Therefore, training programs will vary as well as the amount of time needed to learn a new skill or modify a behavior. In order to give you the highest quality service, we ask that you call us with your training or behavioral needs so that we can best determine how to proceed together.
Puppy Learn'N'Play
This program provides your puppy with exercise and play while integrating learning. We help teach your puppy the basics like name game, sit, stay, down, come, pillow/bed, as well as any skills that you would like your puppy to practice while we visit. This program not only provides exercise, play and learning but we also incorporate socialization field trips to help your puppy grow up to be comfortable in all of his/her environments. Our goal is to help your puppy become a balanced, happy, and polite canine citizen. We visit once or twice a day for 30 to 40 minutes.
30 minute Puppy Learn'N'Play Visit: $30
60 minute Puppy Learn'N'Play Socialization Field Trip: $60
Dog Walking
While you are away, you can feel confident that your dog is getting the physical and mental stimulation from a walk that is necessary for them to be happy, healthy, and fulfilled. Walks can also help curb some behavior problems such as attention seeking behaviors (barking, messing in the house), destructive behaviors from excess energy (chewing, digging), and mild cases of separation anxiety.
We provide 30 minute or 45 minute walks in your
neighborhood or one close by that allows for a safe walking environment
for our walkers and dogs alike. The pace of the walk is set by your dogs
stamina and endurance level.
30 minute walk: $30
45 minute walk: $45
Small Farm Animal and Horse Care
These visits are tailored to your individual need as all farms, large or small, operate differently. Please, call us for more information on what we can provide for you and your farm pets.
About
Karen
Owner
Hello! My name is Karen Casey, CPDT-KA, owner of Paw To Hoof Pet Services. I have been in the pet service business since 2002 caring for dogs, cats, horses, small farm animals, and pockets pets. Throughout my many years in the pet service business, I have continued to grow my experience and education in the many facets of training dogs and horses. My degree in Horse Management, with a focus on training, from The Ohio State University and my Professional Dog Training Certification – Knowledge Assessed from the Council of Certified Professional Dog Trainers has allowed me to help owners better understand their pets and recommend ways to resolve or manage issues. I continue to enjoy attending horse training clinics and dog training seminars, in my spare time, to stay current and further my animal training education. Currently, my husband and I enjoy living with our amazing, Canine Good Citizen Certified dog, Boo, and our senior cat, Odie. My pets are my kids and I understand the concerns pet owners face when they need to leave their pet behind. I treat my clients pets like they are my own with a lot of love, care, and attention. Having a horse and dog educational background as well as years of hands on experience has made me a qualified and well rounded pet service provider for your four-legged kids. I hope to meet you and your fur-kids soon!
