What We Do
Dog Walking
Our excellent dog walkers provide exercise, fresh air, food, freshwater, reinforcement of your dog’s skills, and loving attention for your dog, according to your specific needs.
Dog Training with Desiree:
Desiree, a certified dog trainer, provides a variety of training solutions for your dog and your family. Options include group classes, private classes, private training, day training, and even dog sitting/training camp. If you are interested in something that isn’t here, just ask.
Pet Sitting:
Ensure your pet is attentively cared for while you're away with our pet sitting service. Whether you are going away for a day or more, the professionals of Arlington Dog Nanny, are always ready to look after your pet. We treat your furry family member as if they were our own.
Why Positive Reinforcement?
Science proves it: dogs learn faster, behave better, and are happier when training is built on reward, not fear. Every walk, sit, and training session at Arlington Dog Nanny is guided by this principle.
Happier, More Confident Dogs
Reward-based training keeps dogs curious and eager to engage. Instead of shutting down from fear, they light up during sessions. The difference in body language alone is remarkable.
AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator
Desiree is an American Kennel Club CGC Evaluator and former Pets for Vets trainer, bringing a uniquely rigorous, science-backed approach that goes well beyond a typical dog walker or sitter.
No Fear, No Force, Ever
We never use punishment, prong collars, or intimidation. Your dog stays emotionally healthy and actually looks forward to visits. A dog who trusts their handler learns faster and retains it longer.
Consistent Routine, Real Results
Dogs thrive on routine. Every visit reinforces the same cues and boundaries, so the progress compounds over time. You will notice the difference after just a few weeks.
