I’m newer to the dog world but make up for it in passion and enthusiasm! I adopted my first dog five years ago and dove head first into dog training with him. Since then, I have dog walked, dropped in, and pet sit for friends and fostered dogs. I love connecting with new people and dogs. In July 2021, I completed an Obedience Intensive program at the Michael Ellis School for Dog Trainers. I love dogs so much that I’m looking to make it a bigger part of my life which is why I’ve started offering my services on Rover. Since starting in July 2021, I’ve worked with over 65 dogs privately between boarding, daycare, training, and board and trains. I also work as a dog training instructor at Marin Humane. I work remotely, so I’m flexible on timing. I’m happy to work out something that best meets your and your dog’s needs. I have a fenced yard and three walking trails just a treat’s throw away. I do have two well trained dogs that spend part of their day hanging out on their cots or in their crates and the remainder free roaming the house and yard. I am flexible on the interaction between my dogs and yours. I can definitely keep them apart or let them do some supervised socialization in the yard. My dogs tend to be indifferent and neutral towards other dogs. I manage feedings, walks, and free time separately for each and every dog. I also only take in a few clients at a time to provide the best care. I do require that your dog is crate trained so that they can decompress and relax in a new environment as well as for their safety when I leave the house (a rare occasion). I am happy to talk about what your dog needs. I also do training with every dog regardless of how long or short they are with me unless you prefer otherwise. This helps me build a relationship with your dog more quickly. I’m professional in my interactions with clients and very communicative and responsive. In addition to the reviews listed here, I’m happy to provide references. You can also find me @chuscanines on Instagram.
