Pet care experience
I have experience caring for and training Seeing Eye puppies. I’m interested in positive reinforcement training and catering to the specific needs of individual pets. I have a dog named Pan. He is a small Catahoula Leopard dog mix. I love dogs and I love working with them on specific skills and tricks including basic obedience. I have open availability currently and I’d be happy to work on any specific needs that your pet has. I can work on any tricks that you would like your pet to learn. I will also work on getting the dog to walk on a loose leash. For the more active dogs they can look forward to lots of fun and running around to burn off some of the excess energy that they may have. For the senior dogs they will still get to burn off some excess energy while not putting too much strain on their joints and aging bodies. If your dog enjoys mental stimulation I can also provide that with different brain games.
Reviews
Collin does a great job! He’s reliable and knowledgeable.
We can't say enough good things about Collin. We had never left our two very spoiled German Shepherds before and were worried about how they would act. But we met with Collin twice before our trip and it was obvious that he knows dogs and how to handle them, and our dogs responded well to him. While we were gone, Collin updated us three times a day with photos, videos, and texts which were greatly appreciated. He was there at the agreed upon time and spent considerable time playing ball with the dogs. We will most definitely use Collin again, and because of his great service, we are much less hesitant about leaving the dogs in someone else's care in the future.
Ziva had so much fun with Collin! He took excellent care of her and is exhausted from playing with his dogs....highly recommended!
Collin is great. Really runs my high energy dog. In 30 min he gets My dog out and tired. I come home to a calm and relaxed dog. Makes my evenings easier. Even at zero degrees in ice Collin stayed out. Flexible with visit times when my schedule suddenly changes. Highly recommended

Information Collin D. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed restrictions or preferences. I love all dogs. I would like to know if there are any allergies I need to be aware of as well if there is any aggression towards people or other animals of any kind. Any other special needs of the dog would also be something that needs to be discussed
A typical day
Pets can look forward to activities such going for walks or runs and also hikes in the beautiful parks in the area for the more active dogs as well as playing with toys. If desired I can also provide some basic obedience training as well.
