Hi, I’m Saffrina and I’m on a mission to reduce
FEAR, PAIN & ANXIETY in senior dogs.

Saffrina Rice, BSc, CPDT-KA, CSAT, FFCP-Trainer & Dynamic Dog Practitioner

Do I ONLY work with Senior Dogs?

No - I specialize in dogs with separation anxiety, cognitive decline or undiagnosed pain & discomfort.

These conditions are often attributed to dogs in their senior years, but can affect ANY dog - at ANY age.

Let’s get started

All new clients need to fill in an intake form. It’s the same form for ALL my services, so if you’re not sure OR you’re interested in EVERYTHING…this is the starting place.

As our dog, Brio, has grown older we have noticed changes in her both physically and mentally…not all for the better. Saffrina at Your Senior Dog has been amazing at offering a wide variety of solutions tailored specifically to our needs. She offered judgement free suggestions that left us feeling empowered and hopeful to help ensure Brio can thrive. Saffrina created a custom plan addressing each one of our problem areas making it easy to refer back to so we can stay on track. 

If you are interested in working to ensure your senior dog has the best quality of life while easing their anxiety and pains I highly suggest connecting with Saffrina!”
