Information Farzin M. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog has had any aggression issues with dogs, humans, or other animals in the past, what allergies the dog has especially if I am able to feed him/her treats, if the owner wants any obedience work done with the dog, but mostly just to know the owner's view on the dog's overall personality.

A typical day

Walks out in nature are the best, it's something I noticed dogs want and need to be in, more than walking in the city or simply on hard pavement. If the owner allows it, we can do obedience training rewarded with treats and petting, run around the area, and maybe some agility training, if there is an agility course that's around to play in.

Fun Care Taker for All Dogs

Pet care experience

A couple of years ago, I worked for Primal Canine Dog Training as a Kennel Tech and was training to become a dog trainer. As a Kennel Tech., I cared for about 20 dogs a day, all different breeds and sizes. I cleaned their kennel area, feed them, gave them water, took all of them on walks, did agility training through an obstacle course on-site, worked on their basic obedience, showered them, cleaned up any messes they made, and of course, gave them lots of treats, pets, and overall, love. Since I left Primal Canine, I have continued my dog care and training through working with owners like yourself in taking care of their dogs. I have been walking many dogs as well as dog/house sitting. The difference from working at Primal Canine and working as an independent dog caretaker is that I now have the opportunity to develop a stronger and closer bond with each dog I care for since I spend more time with them. I also used to live with two Pomeranian dogs and worked with dogs on film sets, filming them as they "acted" on command. To me, all dogs, no matter how big, are like little children. They need to be loved, respected, played with, strengthened, and guided to do the right actions. I see each dog has its own unique & individual self. In this, I treat each dog different from others and with the same love and respect I'd give for all dogs.

Farzin was excellent!!! He provided great care for Fiona and we could tell how much fun she was having. He communicated well throughout his time watching Fiona. Thank you Farzin!

Koda quickly warmed up to Farzin and his calming personality. Farzin took great care of our boy, and we would gladly work with Farzin again in the future.

Farzin willingly stepped in last minute and did a great job watching Milo, who can be a LOT! He took great care of Mili and left my place tidy and neat!
