I am a retired U.S. Army Aviator who has both owned and cared for other peoples pets from overnight to a year long deployments. I am flexible (being retired has its perks) and do this for joy and exercise. I have worked with both small and large breeds from Pugs to Great Pyrenees. I also have experience in working with challenging dogs like the Chow Chow. I understand that exercising a dog is only 1 part of the overall equation. They needs attention, and challenges to provide them an energy release outlet (age does play a factor). Overall, I firmly believe that patience is the key to getting a dogs trust. Rest assured, your loved pet is in safe hands under my watch. I wholeheartedly believe that dogs are not only pets, but loved family members as well.
