Chris Longley: Canine Empath.

Pet care experience

Might have heard this one before, but I love animals! Especially dogs and big fluffu cats, making them happy is so easy for me and they appreciate things more often than most people. I have a strong sense of empathy with canines in regards to reading their body language and behavior, and know how to approach and deal with felines even if they are a bit feisty. I currently cannot travel out of my town for various reasons but I will never expect you to drive anywhere when enlisting my services, but I won't say no if you offer! Call me today and I'll give your furry baby the love they need while you're off on other ventures. I am patient with other sentient beings dog, human or otherwise in general, do not get frustrated or give up on something easily, and adhere to strict code of honor for business and friendships alike. I can give you any information you like, and I'll always text you back with a response as soon as I am able too. I am a trained cosmetologist, seasoned fiction writer, lyricist, amateur music producer and merchandise designer, lover of performance art, and most of all seeker of understanding to ultimately come to the best deal and service for you and a new experience and pride I feel in the human and canine symbiosis. Rarely have I met a dog that I could not get to at lower existing aggression to allow me to stand about. I have no fear of any dog and certainly not of any cat(sorry kitties, you're just too cute to be scary!), as I know that negative traits of dogs are imposed. I don't believe there is such a thing as a truly bad dog or kitty! They are who they are and are products of their environment just like humans. What is important is knowledge, understanding, and ultimately balance. I've come to believe that dogs and cats are people too and consider pets part of families. I have assisted and volunteered for PAWS out of my own conviction towards our favorite biological partners and would never think of doing such inherently smart, loyal, and special friends any unwarranted harm or misfortune. Or your kitties, kitties are pretty cool too, especially a big fluffy ragdoll or persian. Big dog, small dog, hyper dog, lazy dog, crazy dog, amazing dog, special needs dog, ANY DOG. I learn all I can before I approach anything and I have always had one dog in my immediate family that I train myself and I've loved all of them until they were gone. And continue to do so, so if you feel like you can't give your baby everything they want then take that number and punch it in your phone instantly! I am an open book, honest, confident, clean, cultured, accepting, understanding, and most of all loving for every domestic canine and kitty cat. They need us as much as we need them. And if you need me I'll be here for you and your fur baby! I am available for any dog or cat quick visit, walks, babysitting, or even other minor services like washing and in time grooming as im always looking to practice hairstyling. humans, dogs and cats Love your furry friend but must complete other things? I'm here for both of you so give me a ring. You love your pets and I do too a long with every living thing. Treat your friends how you should, and hire The Canine Empath! Dog’s Best Friend!

Chris had Gabby, his first dog, until she was 14 when she died. He took care great care of her and held her until the end. Anytime he is around any animal, they take to him and has an instant connection with them,

Chris is able to make friends with any dog very soon after he meets them. He is very good at telling how a dog is feeling or what it wants and uses that to help work with them.

Information Chris L. would like to know about your pet

I don’t discriminate or have any prejudice towards any sort of breed I judged the dog after I meet them as I would a person. I mostly like to know first of all their energy level and if they have any medical issues that I should be aware of and certain unwanted behaviors such as marking inside the house or being food aggressive because like people dogs all think differently from each other based on their experiences and personality. I always will try my best to adapt to every dogs and cats preferences and mood which is usually pretty easy for me to tell how they feel generally just by looking at them.

A typical day

I can jog alongside more active dogs and don’t mind dogs and cats in my personal space. I can keep up with the largest dogs and be gentle with the smalleat. I am a frequent power walker as normal transportation i can walk many miles a day and so so often for fun and exercise. I prefer to test a dog to see what their preffered game is, as i am here for them. I am happy with just lnowing they are happy.
