Experienced dog trainer

Pet care experience

I am a trainer and AKC evaluator. Here at home, your dog will be welcomed as part of the family! I have two canine companions myself: a German Shepherd with an impressive list of titles showcasing his obedience and training (CGC, CGCA, CGCU, BH, TKN, and TKI) and a friendly Border Collie mix. Both dogs are active and enjoy socializing with well-mannered companions. For added comfort and safety, we have a second fenced-in area that allows separation if needed. You can trust me to provide: Experienced, professional care: My extensive training background ensures a safe and enriching environment for your furry friend. Personalized attention: Every dog is unique, and I'll tailor my approach to their specific needs and temperament. Peace of mind: Knowing your dog is in capable hands with a fellow dog enthusiast lets you relax and enjoy your time away. Don't just leave your dog behind, give them a fun and enriching stay!

Dustin was awesome with my dog! Sent me daily videos of him playing with his dogs and just living his best life. Dustin also was willing to give my dog training while watching him which was so awesome because having a rambunctious Rottweiler puppy can be a lot for anyone. Thank you so much Dustin you were seriously awesome!

I've known Dustin for 10+ years and have witnessed his interactions with many dogs in training scenarios as well as his own pets. Dustin is amazing with dogs and is able to handle and train any dog extremely well. I would trust him with any dog and would highly recommend him for any of your needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Your Dog's Safe Haven: Peace of Mind Inside and Out Safety is my top priority. Here's what ensures your dog feels secure and comfortable during their stay: Secure Yard: Your pup will have plenty of space to run and play in our fully fenced-in yard. For added peace of mind, we have a separate, fenced section that allows for comfortable separation if needed. Cozy Crates: My dogs and yours both have access to comfortable crates for rest and relaxation. Clients are welcome to bring their dog's own crate, providing a familiar space for quiet time and a sense of security. Constant Supervision: Never a moment alone! Your dog will be supervised by me throughout their stay. Extra Layer of Security: For an additional layer of peace of mind, all dogs wear Fi GPS collars. These collars allow us to track their location in real-time, offering extra reassurance during walks and outdoor playtime. With these measures in place, you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and enjoying their home away from home.
