Seeking friends for my Golden pup!!
Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Dan! My best buddy Yama was born in January of 2019, he and I are going to be spending the summer playing with a bunch of other dogs to socialize him. I am taking the summer off from work to hang with him, and we would love to get to know some other dogs in the Silver Spring area. I am a former Army infantry medic and am currently attending college on the GI Bill. I grew up on a farm in Oregon and was surrounded with all sorts of animals from a young age. I love all animals, especially dogs. My style is fairly permissive, especially with other people's dogs, but I am clear on boundaries, redirect when needed, and give lots of love and positive energy. I don't buy into the dominance theory training methodology and am a big fan of Karen Pryor's training methods. I am happy to answer any questions you have on my philosophy.
Reviews
This is the first trip I've come home from and not felt stressed about all of the things I have to do around the house. It was just as we had left it three days prior. Dan did an amazing job of keeping us posted on our pets, getting our young dog plenty of exercise, and keeping our house in order. We have a deaf dog, two "normie" cats and a deaf kitten. Keeping all of that in order is not an easy job. Highly recommend Dan-he really does a fantastic job and we hope to continue to use him for our future travel!
Huge mahalo to Dan for taking such great care of our old spoiled pit bull. She can be fearful and shy, but she warmed right up to him. It's obvious he has a way with animals! Dan's number one priority seems to be to keep the animal comfortable and happy. He was very communicative and sent us lots of pictures while we were away, which put our minds at ease. Thanks Dan!

Information Dan C. would like to know about your pet
No breed preference (I like pit bulls). If your dog is working on behavioral things, I'd like to know, like if your dog is overly aggressive, has anxiety (especially separation anxiety), is reactive or has any other big fears.
A typical day
Our activities will depend on the activities he or she does with you. If he has games he likes, we'll do them. I want to try and disrupt your dog's schedule and routine as little as possible while you are gone. That being said, I am very active and if your dog needs a lot of exercise I can provide it via walking, running, trails, mental/puzzle games, smell games, whatever he is used to I can provide.
