Active play, home 90%, 2 acre yard

Pet care experience

I have trained and boarded dogs for friends and coworkers for years. Now I am a full time home dad which provides me the flexibility to truly care for your dog. I crate them as little as possible and play with them as much as possible. Outside I have a 2 acre, fully-fenced yard with two large individual fenced areas should dogs need to be separated. I've always said "All animals love me," and I love them too. every dog has their own personality. I am keenly aware of their behaviors, postures and the non-verbal ways dogs are trying to communicate and I try to communicate back to them in their own "language". My approach is structured, but I focus on a fun-first and positive environment. I have trained my 4 personal dogs (labs, boxer, bull dog) over the last 20 years. I currently have a calm, large and sweet shepherd mix named Dread Pirate Roberts. Should there be a medical question or an injury, my vet is a close friend and her clinic is less than a mile away. You dog will return to you happy, healthy, exercised, and mentally stimulated.

Tony did a wonderful job with my girls. He showed up on time and logged in and posted a picture for each visit. He also took extra care of my elderly girl. He went the extra mile to make sure she ate. Can not say enough good things about the job Tony did. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for such an unorthodox service scheduling. Puppers seems very happy and everything was done in care. Will love to use your service again.

Winston had so much fun during his stay with Antonio and his family. A tired pup is a good pup and Winston is still wore out. 10/10 recommend!

Tony is great walking my high energy, 70 lb. puppy, since my work schedule has now changed. He was willing to work with my 15 month old puppy, that's still learning obedience, and can be a lot to handle at times. Provides good feedback and photos. I can already tell a difference in her demeanor. She is calmer and seems to rest better. I'll be using him again for walks and possibly boarding in the future. He KNOWS dogs!

Information Antonio A. would like to know about your pet

Dogs should be good with kids. Dogs should not be prone to jumping fences. I have 4-5 foot fences.

A typical day

I do a monitored free play for the dogs 2 hours twice a day. A minimum of 30 minutes of 1 on 1 time with me to do tricks and training. I make ice/food treats and we have chew toys, balls, etc. When inside, they are free to move about the house. the furniture is usually dog free, but its not a hard rule. In the evenings, I spend a lot of time on the floor with the dogs wrestling and snuggling.
