Experienced Dog Trainer & Whisperer
Pet care experience
I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 8. I would feed, bathe, and walk all of my family and friend's dogs, and now even specialize in dog massages after a long day of running them around! I'm also good at administering medication and putting on ointments/creams because my dog has quite a few allergies, and he also tends to get a dry nose. I have just over a year of professional dog-walking experience working with a dog walking and hotel company, Dog Republic, in Newport, CA-- I've walked up to 10 dogs at once! I professionally train dogs on my off days to improve their obedience skills, and I enjoy hearing feedback from owners about their furry friend's improved behavior, health, and mood! My goal is to bring your fur-baby back home happy, tired after a long day of fun, and eager to please. If you're looking for an experienced dog walker/trainer that will help your furry family member to get the exercise they need while teaching them basic obedience skills and encouraging good behavior, I'm your guy!
Reviews
Clay is the biggest dog lover I know; he connects so well with all the dogs he meets and every dog he meets loves him! And his dog is the smartest dog I've seen in person-- he can hold a stay for probably an hour, knows his left and right, heels on command, etc! Every dog owner I know goes to Clay for advice and help with improving their dogs' behaviors and teaching their dogs new tricks. Clay's definitely a trustworthy dog person and I'd recommend him to anyone looking to help their dog to lose weight, exercise, learn new tricks, etc!

I have a large fenced yard with multiple dog parks nearby where I take my dog, Shadow, multiple times per day-- he's an energetic Malinois that LOVES playing frisbee. Shadow is super friendly and loves playing fetch with other dogs. He's perfect for teaching socialization to pups because of how patient he is-- he's completely unbothered by barking or even defensive behavior from other dogs.
Information Clayton R. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any preferences, but I'd like to know if a dog has a history of aggression, biting or just bad behavior in the past. I train dogs in my free time, and I'm comfortable working with dogs that need extra patience and caution, but I'd definitely like to know about anything along those lines beforehand so I can come prepared!
A typical day
We'd go on a scenic walk around the neighborhood, possibly a dog park or run to get nice and tired! I'd take care of all their basic needs like going out to potty, feeding them, giving them their medications, etc. I'd also be more than happy to work with them on their obedience to help them behave better, or even just learn new tricks!

Availability
I currently work the night shift at my full-time job as a zip line lead operator, so I'm available to walk your pup any time before 4 PM! I'm also available at any time on Mondays and Tuesdays. I'd be happy to set up a long-term walk schedule, but I'm very flexible right now if you need somebody last minute!
