Safety, trust & environment

Because of my background as a K9 Handler, I don't "turn off" my awareness of dog behavior. Every walk or play session in my weekly routine is an opportunity for subtle reinforcement of good manners and engagement. I stood watch for our nation. Now, I’m standing watch for your four-legged family members. You can trust that the same integrity, attention to detail, and 'mission-first' mindset I gave to the Corps is exactly what I will provide for your dog."

Pet care experience

One of the most important things I’ve learned in my career as a K9 Handler is that every dog is an individual. I have extensive experience adapting my handling style to meet a dog exactly where they are: Whether your dog is a high-octane athlete or a mellow companion, I tailor my energy to theirs. My goal is to ensure they return to you happy, and—most importantly—safe.

David is the definition of a dog lover. He has watched my dogs any time I need a sitter over the years. He’s even flown across country to sit my lab while I was away. Not only is he an animal lover, he’s also a great human being. His knowledge for dogs and the way he cares for them is hands down the best I’ve seen. I would recommend him any day!

I have known David for 10 years he has watched my Lab Hemi on numerous occasions when I’m away. hemi always gets excited when he come over because he shows him so much love. He has even helped me with some obedience training. If there is anything that hemi needs during that time David makes sure they get done on time. He has been a great help for my family and hemi. When ever I need him I know he will be there for me. He takes pride In his work and that’s hard to fine these days.

David is an incredible dog trainer and someone I truly trust with my dog. My three year old German Shepherd West struggles with anxiety and can be very protective but David has a calm and confident way of working with him that immediately makes him feel safe. West listens to David and responds really well to his guidance. It’s clear that David understands dogs and knows how to build trust with them. Watching how well they interact gave me a lot of confidence in his abilities. I would absolutely recommend David to anyone looking for a reliable, patient and knowledgeable dog trainer or pet sitter
