Natural born dog whisperer..
Pet care experience
I was born with the gift of being able to connect with dogs and feel what they're feeling and would like to share that gift with you and your dog. My grandfather was a state dog catcher and would bring home dogs they didn't have room for and we would care for them. I began working with dogs basically when I was able to start walking and have been since then. I have worked at a couple local kennels and was typically in charge of the socialization of the dogs as I naturally understand dog behavior. If you're looking for someone who your dog will love just as much as they love them, look no further.
Reviews
Derek has an uncanny ability to interact with dogs. Most people, including myself, call him 'the dog whisperer' because I have seen dogs that were otherwise unable to be handled become loving and friendly when Derek took over. I had recommended that he open his own doggie daycare or start a dog training business because it's so natural for him and I felt that talent shouldn't be wasted. He loves dogs more than anyone I know and knows how to keep them happy and entertained!
About Derek K.
Skills
Information Derek K. would like to know about your pet
I prefer to go in with a blank slate and get to know your dog myself, unless there are any severe issues you feel I should be aware of. I have worked with many dogs who were said to be male aggressive and they were typically happy with me. I have no breed preferences or restrictions.
A typical day
I will take them where they want to go and play with them how they want to play. If your dog wants me to throw the ball, I will. If your dog wants to wrestle with me, I will. If your dog wants to chase me and be chased, I will do that.
