Animal Lover & Outdoor Adventurer
Pet care experience
I am a former dog trainer & behaviorist and volunteer at the Lee County Humane Society. Me and my 5 younger brothers grew up surrounded by animals including dozens of dogs of all different sizes and breeds. In a house constantly teeming with different cats, birds, fish, hamsters, raccoons, turtles, wild children, and even a tarantula, I had years of experience to learn how to take any type of dog and use a mixture of training and love to transform them into a model member of society, fully acclimated to their new home, and peacefully coexisting with their other animal siblings. Once I became an adult, I spent years volunteering at the Lee County Humane Society, working with their most “difficult” cases (100+lb unruly dogs, food & dog aggression issues, fear of men, etc) to help retrain and rehabilitate those dogs so that they could be more easily adopted. Since then, I have also worked professionally as a dog trainer and behaviorist, working to help my clients become the Pack Leaders of their homes. I love my dog (Tyco) more than 99% of people in my life and I promise to treat your fur baby with the same love and attention that I give him!
Reviews
Derrick took such amazing care of our German Shepherd!! We needed a last minutes caregiver for her and he was all for it! Derrick was so great about sending us updates and pictures throughout the day. Our girl is definitely exhausted and well taken care of! Thank you so so much!
