Dog Lover/Husband/Vet Tech/Trainer

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Chris! I am a HUGE animal lover and spend a good amount of my free time training dogs. My background is in veterinary medicine. I have 20+ years of experience with many different types of breeds, sizes, ages (puppies to seniors and everything in between), and personalities, with main focuses in fur babies with special needs, fear/aggression behaviors, and seniors/puppies. I have spent the last 15 years as a veterinary technician in the ER and critical care units of a veterinary emergency/specialty hospital, as well as training pups. My wife, Jenna, and I currently have two fur babies. Bear, a 7 year old yellow lab/German Shepherd mix and Baxter, a 12 year old wheaten terrier. We just lost our old boy, Wrigley, in July. He was a 13 year old black lab, who spent the majority of his life with 3 legs! That never slowed him down! He and I spent 7 years on a volunteer search and rescue team. Animals are my passion and I have experience with all ages and most disabilities. I am also available to work on some training with your pup. It would be an honor to get know your fur baby! I’m currently working part time from home, so I am pretty much available any time. Our pups and I walk at least 4 times a day and often walk down to the nearest dog park. I have a fenced in yard and have two very friendly pups to keep your fur baby company! I also have crates available should your pup be crate trained.

CJ took amazing care of our pup! He even took the extra step of making time to stop over and introduce himself prior to his first time walking our dog. Highly recommend!!

CJ was great! He provided a lot of updates, videos and pics, which put us at ease. He took great care of our dog and spoiled him like his own dog. We could tell our dog had a great time with his family and we will definitely book with him in the future.

Cj was amazing and I highly recommend him! He administered my cat’s antibiotics with no problems, and I really felt like she was in great hands. If you have a pet that needs to take medication, he’s definitely the man for the job. I also loved all the picture updates. Thanks so much Cj!
