Al was great with Marley today. He clearly understands dogs and works with them often. He has a very calm demeanor and Marley took to him immediately. We highly recommend Al for anyone looking for help with their furry friend, and we will surely use him again in the near future!

I’ve know Al my whole life! I am his little sister. Ever since we were small, Al has had a passion for animals. Our parents always supported his love of animals, from rabbits to raising and hatching birds big and small to having a rooster at our house in the city! He was the horse rider, dog lover, reptile guy and so much more. As we got older nothing changed except more passion! He is the dog whisperer of our family! Anyone having Al watch their pet is lucky!
