The Dog Man

Pet care experience

A big thank you to all my amazing dog owners for 100 reviews! I'm grateful to all of you for giving me the opportunity to help with care, training and advice for your dogs. I truly enjoy working with dogs and their owners every single day, thanks for helping to make this possible! Talk to me about TRAINING! I am a certified dog trainer who has worked with many different breeds and temperaments. If you would like to tighten up your dog's behavior, improve retention on walks, or teach obedience in a structured way, let me know! I offer one on one field lessons, just let me know if you'd like more detail! *I use pinch collars primarily, especially if your dog arrives with an ineffective retention device. If this doesn’t sit well with you, I am probably not your guy.* *I will not be boarding any dogs that are using pee pads.* I've been around dogs since I was very young, here in San Diego and in the woods of rural Wisconsin (where my dog training experience began). I love spending time with and caring for dogs, which is why I do this full time! I don't have pets of my own, but I have many years of experience with a wide variety of different breeds and breed types. I've learned to understand the nuances of the given genetics, as well as stimulate different types of dogs with the activities and exercise they crave. Rest assured your fur baby's days will be filled with things they love to do, making sure they feel fulfilled, satisfied and ready for the bed at the end of each day. I'm able to care for all dogs ranging from puppies to seniors, in most stages of training. They'll have a comfy spot to hang out until it's walk time, as well as breaks outdoors for fresh air! If you need someone to care for your dogs, know that when they're with me they will have frequent walks in a quiet neighborhood with an active individual! I also have a fair amount of experience with dog nutrition, home cooking for dogs and kibble alternatives! I pay close attention to your dog's digestive health while they're with me, it's very important that you get a clear report of any issues here. Food plays a big part of a dog's life, so if you'd like to eliminate lethargy, bowel problems, allergies, etc. PLEASE talk to me during your meet and greet or throughout the course of your dog's stay. I'm happy to help with tips and references for rounding out your dog's diet to keep them healthy, regular and full of energy for years! Don't take my word for it, just reach out for a meet and greet before booking your dog's stay! I'm more than happy to take some time to meet new dogs with their owners to walk around my neighborhood a bit, ensuring a proper fit before you make any commitments.

Foxy always enjoys his stays with Danny! He’s a spicy boy with me but is a perfect angel being a part of Danny’s pack. Of course as always highly recommend him for your babies

Our pup had an injury right before he went to stay with Danny. He took great care making sure not only that the injury didn’t get worse, but that it was improving. It was such a peace of mind. Thanks, Danny!

Danny was excellent yet again! When another sitter suddenly became unavailable, Danny was more than willing to take in my pup same day! 100% will be booking again, I know my dog is in really good hands!

Safety, trust & environment

The environment your dogs will be in is a multi level townhome in a dog friendly community. They are welcome on all the furniture in the house, as well as a small outdoor patio area that is fenced in. The community has multiple routes for walking, including a dirt trail that leads into more areas in Sorrento Valley. There are 3 dog parks within 15 mins of my house. My walk routes vary based on the stamina of the dog, but I've got everything covered from 10 minute walks in the shade to 4 hour hikes in PQ canyon! We're also not far from multiple beaches that allow dogs.

Information Danny W. would like to know about your pet

Any medical issues or special circumstances. They're not always a deal breaker, I just need to know everything beforehand so I'm prepared for any special care needs. Also if there's any problematic behavior I need to be ready for.

A typical day

My neighborhood has a great network of trails and several grassy areas for your dogs to enjoy! If your dog is more high energy and likes more advanced hiking trails, I've got several spots I'd love to show them! If your dog is a swimmer and loves to hang out with other dogs, a trip to Fiesta Island is probably in their future. If you're going on vacation, it's only fair that you allow your dogs the same experience right? I'll make sure you can deliver on that promise!

I care for dogs full time, so every day will be packed with fun outdoor activities to physically and mentally stimulate your dog! We're up at 7:30-8am for the first walk and breakfast, followed by a minimum of 2 more walks throughout the day, along with dedicated leash time just for your dog in close proximity to my house. This helps to strengthen leash retention, reinforce any training you've already provided and also gives me an opportunity to encourage new habits if you're trying to curb any problematic behavior. Last walk is 10-15 mins before bed time, lights out is around 9-10pm.
