Tail wagging

Hello my name is Ernest. I can help with Dog Walking, Basic training, Daily Visits (30 mins-1hr) Dog Park Trips, I can be your pet taxi taking to vets/groomers ext., Boarding ( I like to call it doggy vacation). Now unfortunately I do not have professional training or any certificates and I haven't attended any schools for dog walking or training…The experience I have is growing up watching my father train his dogs (doberman pinchers) and passing his knowledge down to me. I would like to say I have 30 years of experience training my own dogs. Now I'm passing what I know down to my 7 year old son he’s my little helper. I would like to say my goal is to make your days easier. Giving you peace of mind knowing your pet/s are getting the exercise, fresh food/water, and great companionship they need. You will receive pictures of your dogs stay/play. That way when you get home from work or vocation you'll have a happier pet/s. I have a nice size back yard with a 6 and half foot wood fence. I live close to gateway park that has two dog parks for big and small dogs. I will ask for your permission before taking them to the park or away from my home (just to go for a car ride). I work from home and taking online classes so I’m always home. I call myself a homebody. I will treat you pet the way I would want my pet to be treated. I will treat your pet as if he/she were mine. I have several clients that call me their pets uncle/best friend and I absolutely love that.

Ernest was great! We were very comfortable leaving our dog with him although he has severe separation anxiety. Ernest kept us updated and sent photos when he could. Will definitely be using Earnest going forward.

My dog Link had a great time at Ernest's house. Link played with a friend and had a blast. Ernest did a great job and made us feel comfortable.

Does your dog get along with other dogs? Is your dog house trained? I have a 7 year old son how will your dog react? Any special diet your dog is on?
