Brian was great! My dog Oliver can be anxious, but Brian was great with him. I would definitely use Brian again.

Outstanding guy! My dog truly enjoyed her walk with Brian. He is kind, affectionate and has a deep understanding of dogs’ behavior. Gave me lots of helpful tips for loose leash walking and how to make my dog not to jump up when she sees new people.

Highly recommend Brian! We really appreciated his patience and knowledge of dogs while working with our large dog, Yuki. Yuki can be very nervous around new people and Brian was able to get her out for her daily walks and provided us with plenty of picture and updates. It gave us peace of mind that our anxious pup was in good hands.

Schedule

Dog Walking - 🐾 Loose Leash Training is fundamental to what I do everyday. Every walk provided is a continuous training & reinforcing of loose leash walking. The dog walk is a key to overall mental & physical health & happiness, which can prevent so many behavioral challenges. As long as the pup or adult is in reasonable health, & with pet parent permission, we believe the walk should be enjoyable & at the same time, work. My Drop-In skill set includes oral medicine administration, special needs care including formerly abandoned, abused & traumatized canines, puppy care, senior dog care, high energy breeds, & requested obedience training that the pet parent has already established. At the pet parent's home, I try to mirror the normal routine that is already in place.

Is the dog an excessive barker? Is there any separation anxiety? Reactivity issues with other dogs? Are there any unique fears? If the dog is male, is he neutered?
