Certified Canine Handler/Trainer

Pet care experience

With eight years professional experience handling military and police canines. I have grown to understand mans best friend better than I can understand man. During my years in service I have received countless certifications ranging from emergency medical to proper grooming methods and plenty in between. I have handled narcotics detection, explosive detection and patrol Canines. I have a keen understanding of dog actions, emotions and body language. I can provide the utmost care and affection desired, along with training if requested while you are away from your loving family member. I run on average five miles a day and would love for a dog to tag along with me for a short jog or a full run. I also have a enclosed back yard where animals can lounge about all day if they would like. Within walking distance of my house there is a dog park where they can burn off energy. I work from home most days and when I am not home my office is six miles away with an ability to go home at any point in time. Whether it is weeks in advance or 3 hours before my availability is open. Feel free to ask any questions.

My dog was out of control before I found David but now she’s so much better than before. I used to get abused by my dog every day with jumps and scratches, etc but since after I send her there to board with David, she came back like a totally different dog!!!!! I’m really happy and impressed!!!!! We’re still working with her to make it better around the house but I have to tell you that it’s so much easier with her now even when she has no training collar on!!!! Thank you you guys so much!!!! It’s know that you’d love a long vacation after meeting my dog ??? you have no idea how much you help all of us. Kids are not scared of her anymore and they can play together nicely even walk her too!!!!

David & Hannah were awesome! My dog, Ruger, came home happy and obedient. I was worried that the little bit of training I’d started would be lost (he’s 8 months old ), but he was sharper than ever! We were extremely happy with how he did and D&H made it easy. This was the first time we’d ever left Ruger and they made me feel comfortable too - and I loved the photos and updates. Thanks for teaching him to interact with other pups and dogs too! Will definitely use them again.

Information David S. would like to know about your pet

No breed restrictions! I dislike when people judge a pup by it's breed so any breed is welcome in my home. I would like to know what commands they know, how much they eat, any aggression issues or territorial behaviors they have. What does a normal day look like for them? I want to make their stay experience and mine as stress free as possible. I want all pups to be happy and that starts with knowing what makes them tick!

A typical day

While dogs stay with me I enjoy taking them to Shelby Farms dog park to run and play to burn off all that stored energy. On or off lease, whatever the owner is comfortable with. I also have more toys than Petco thanks to bark box.
