About Sunflower Dog Care

Jace has lived with and cared for dogs for over 20 years and has worked, volunteered, and trained under various dog behaviorists from Austin Pets Alive and various training and boarding facilities in the Austin area. ​ They are skilled with many dog behaviors and have a passion and natural ability to create a safe space for dogs with trauma or aggression. They specialize in helping dogs who are shy or fearful of people or dogs, territorial (protective of the home), resource guarders (protective of food, toys, crate, etc.), on-leash reactivity or pulling, and love teaching boundaries and manners around the house. ​ They are also knowledgeable and patient with seniors, medical, and sick dogs. They have experience with limited mobility, pain management, pre-and post-surgery care, injections, and dogs who hate taking pills. ​ Through years of owning dogs (in the past), training under a holistic pet nutritionist, and working with rescue dogs, they can determine when there is a need for diet change, supplement addition, or recommend going to a veterinarian. At the veterinarian, they can use their medical knowledge to ask thorough questions.
