I am missing my buddy Gunnar whom I raised from 8 weeks old until I had to put him down after 10 years in December 2017 due to a form of incurable cancer. My family and I are total dog lovers, which is probably an understatement, and until we are ready to get another dog, would like to share our love of dogs to help fill the void. I have been told that my several people that Gunnar was one of the best trained dogs that they have ever been around. I could literally leave him in my front drive way for hours and he would be sitting on the porch waiting to be let back in the house. The training that I provided was based the Healing Free method and was more about on what I needed to know as a dog owner and not he needed to know. If your dog is trained great, otherwise I would be happy to work on some basics. We are an active family. We enjoy pretty much anything outdoors, hiking, trips to the coast, local parks. I am an avid fly fisherman and would have no problem taking your dog with me on a float down the McKenzie of Willamette and even have a life jacket for a larger dog.
