Information David P. would like to know about your pet

I want to be able to tailor your dog’s training to its specific needs and to your concerns, so if your furry friend has any particular things attention is needed for, don't be shy!

A typical day

My primary focus is to make sure your pup is mentally and physically stimulated, so we’ll go on walks appropriate to the breed and age so they can smell new things and satisfy their need to explore. We’ll work on agility training to strengthen their focus and physical skills. And, of course, lots of positive reinforcement.

David was amazing and truly understanding. Our children had a track meet 4hrs away that went over in time by 3-4hrs. David’s flexibility to still provide loving care for our furbaby meant a lot to us.
