Artemis

Hi!

Thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Artemis, I am 31 years old and I live in Dublin!

I own a successful dog training business named "Woof Me" and I recently opened an online store that is specialized in dogs and you can find unique products that are not available in Ireland and many more!

I'm a certified positive dog trainer graduating from Star Dogs Academy in Greece that is specialized in positive dog training, behavior and agility classes. Since I was 19 I started to volunteer in dog shelters. I have years of experience walking and taking care of dogs all ages and sizes. When I was in Greece I used to foster any stray dogs that may were in need of health care, safety and affection.

I have been working with dogs for nearly 10 years and I have been dealing with puppies, reactive, fearful, anxious or even aggressive dogs.
Since I started working as a professional dog trainer, I have been constantly updating my knowledge and expertise by :

My methods of training are only force-free, positive and fun so that every member of the family (young or old) can and wants to participate!
I'm a huge advocate of rewarding and reinforcing desirable behaviours instead of punishing the ones that you don't like!
All the techniques I use are based on studies and science on how dogs learn and the goal of course is the both the owner and the dog feel happy, comfortable, safe and have fun during our training!

I love being between dogs all day long so I would be so happy to choose me as your pet's sitter. I'm sure that your dog has something unique and I can't wait to discover it :)
I used to foster some dogs in need in the past when I lived with my parents and I had also been volunteering at local shelters when I was living in Greece.
As a dog owner myself, I find it extremely difficult to trust someone with my dog but knowning as much information about the sittter's past and present and reading reviews, makes the decision way easier to make.

Please don't hesitate to check my Google reviews by typing woof me on Google.

The services I will be able to offer are: House Sitting (your house) and Dog Training.

This is the best option for you and your pet. House sitting simply means that I am staying at your place taking care of your pet and keeping an eye at your home while you are away.
Your pet loves routine, following a daily schedule and stay in a specific environment that they feel safe and happy. This service is also ideal for dogs who suffer from Seperation Anxiety and need someone always with them at their house. Having a trusted professional at your home is going to take a lot of weight off your shoulders, so there is no need to worry about your pet. They will be treated as if they were mine :) 

What to expect from me during my stay at your place:

The only thing I ask is to inform me as much as you can about your pet's behaviour, likes, dislikes and special requirements about the walks outside. If I'm not well-informed about all of that, I might accidentally do something that you and/or your pet won't like.

As I mentioned, I do offer professional dog training services so please don't hesitate to ask me about that too!

I'm looking forward to meeting you and your family :)
