Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Bryant! Over the years, I have worked with dual-purpose police K9s and military working dogs, and have trained my own dogs in competition obedience, agility, and protection sports. I am experienced with all methods of dog training (free shaping, luring, clickers, ecollars, etc) and dog handling (leash skills, dogs that are reactive or anxious, dogs with various health conditions, etc). I'd love to take care of your dog! A few things that are important to me: 1. I believe that dogs are more than accessories - they are our companions, friends, and adventure buddies in life. 2. Regardless of whether you are trying to compete in Schutzhund/IPO or adopting your first family pet, in the end, it's about being able to live with your dog(s) in a way that allows both you and your dog(s) to find happiness and fulfillment. 3. There different classes of dogs. Just because someone loves "fur babies" doesn't mean he or she is ready to handle all dogs. Education and experience are key. 4. It's not the dogs, it's us - instead of blaming dogs for being "stubborn" or "difficult", we should take responsibility and ownership of helping dogs through problems. ---------------- MY GIRL: Ellie (mini Aussie) - my 14lb phenom who runs a 6min mile, is undefeated in 5k races, has climbed up a 2000ft summit, finished a 5hr hike at Lost Maples, and is competition-trained in obedience and agility. ---------------- MY HOUSE: I live in a gated community, with over 4000 sq ft inside and a quarter acre outside. Your dog(s) will have SO much space to enjoy! Dogs must be house- and crate-trained, and up-to-date on vaccinations. Please bring a crate/kennel and food for your dog - I'll take care of the rest!
Reviews
Bryant is an excellent option as a dog sitter. He is skilled at observing/training dogs and was good at communicating how my dog settled into his home while we were away. I know that Monkey loved his vacation as much as we enjoyed ours. Bryant was easy to coordinate pick up, drop off and it was helpful that he reminded me of what to bring so he had everything he needed. Highly recommend.
Bryant is truly the best dog owner that I know. I have seen him raise Ellie from an 8-week-old fluff ball to a 2-year-old Aussie that is hands down the most well trained and most athletic dog that I have ever met. Bryant is meticulous about Ellie’s diet, combs her coat daily, brushes Ellie’s teeth twice a day, and even brings her along as his running/training partner…if that’s not the definition of a puppy daddy, then I don’t know what is! Bryant is a wonderful dog owner but also an exceptional dog trainer who is experienced in obedience, agility, and protection k9 work. You won’t find many, if any, trainer-handlers on Rover. Bryant is caring, responsible, and skilled. He is my go-to for any dog needs!
