Seasoned Military Dog Handler

Pet care experience

I have over 5 years experience working with puppies and over 17 working with animals in general. Currently, I work as a military dog handler/instructor and am fully trained to delivery CPR, basic first aid and Heimlich resuscitation. I am extremely comfortable giving medication as well as IV fluids. I am highly experienced in dog obedience and behavioral modification. Currently, I am a qualified master instructor at the Department of Defense Military Working Dog Handlers Course. Things I enjoy doing include spending time with my 3 dogs, going to the gym, and spending time with my girlfriend. Our dogs are not just dogs but family and we will treat yours just the same. Animals to me are the purest creatures on Earth and I love being with them every single day.

Gary was awesome with our babies! He is a great guy and the dogs loved him. Marci and Brutus will be seeing him again for sure. We were gone 3 days and we would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Gary!!

I know this is my second review, but just can't say enough on how amazing Gary is! I never worry when he is watching my Rou. And it's so refreshing that he is familiar with the military lifestyle and is flexible when things change. Rou and I are so grateful for your wonderful care. Thanks again!

Gary did a great job with my furgirl! She is almost two, german shepherd and a handful! Knowing Gary is a dog handler put me at ease with leaving her with him, since he has so much experience. Thank you so much!

It was such a relief to know that Gary was taking care of our boys while we were gone. We usually take our dogs with us on trips, so we aren't used to leaving them. Gary makes it a little easier because we know they're in good hands.
