Wear Your Dog Out - Mind and Body

Pet care experience

Have a high-energy dog? Great! So do I. Morning and night I train and exercise my Border Collie. I figure, the more the merrier. I'll bring your dog out with us to the park, beach, store, and wherever else our adventures lead. When they're not being physically exhausted, they'll be mentally tested. I utilize clicker training and positive reinforcement to get your dog doing tricks you never thought possible. Best of all your dog will receive the critical socialization needed from a human and K-9 playmate. Puppies are especially welcome to join our pack! We take frequent trips outside, so your little buddy will never have to 'hold it' for long. My dog is very gentle especially with smaller dogs, if you own a large breed dog I’d like to meet them first to make sure the dogs will be able to play without injury. I have a lifetime of experience with dogs, for decades my family bred dogs for show on our property in Houston. I also have experience with cats! My dog loves trying to befriend them and was socialized with cats from day 1.

Information Dawn C. would like to know about your pet

Tell me about your dog’s personality. Does the dog know any commands? What is the level of physical exercise can they perform? Does your dog have food aggression? Does your dog have separation anxiety? Is your dog crate trained? Potty trained? Does your dog react to small dogs, children, cars etc.? Breed Restrictions: I’m open to all breeds, but due to apartment restrictions I cannot accept those classified as or mixed with Bully breeds. If you own a large breed dog I will ask to meet the dog before booking.

A typical day

My favorite haunts are open fields near my home, Brighton Park, and Bob Hall Pier. If your dog is capable, I'll take him running! If not, a game of fetch or tug of war is just as good. Best of all during your dog's 'down time', your dog will be challenged with puzzle toys and learning new tricks. No lazy layabouts here!
