Pet care experience
I have a natural ability with animals, primarily dogs. My book shelves are full of educational books about dogs. I'm currently enrolled in Animal Behavior College earning my certificate in dog training/rehabilitation. I have attended Cesar Millan's private 2 week long lessons at his Dog Psychology Center in January 2017. I believe exercise and calm assertive leadership are absolutely vital to the health and well-being of every dog and human. I not only offer walks, but I actually prefer to jog, bike, skateboard, and roller-blade with dogs. I'll teach your dog to do this at no additional charge. Also, if you'd like I could help with behaviors you would like to modify. In a nutshell, dogs are my passion and I'm willing and able to do it all. I'm an active duty military member with a medical background and I'm a nationally registered EMT. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your best friend.
Reviews
Gus is great! Very quick to respond to my inquiry and easy to communicate with. Whiskey seemed to love staying with him and came back a happy dog. Gus is also very knowledgeable about dogs and training so I felt very at ease leaving my dog with him. I would recommend him to anyone!
Gus dog sat and trained our golden doodle puppy, Chom Chom, for 5 days this past week. It was Chom Chom's first time being boarded away from the house (we had relatives stay and take care of her at home before so she could still be in a familiar environment while we went away). We weren't sure how she would react. Gus met with us at El Dorado Dog park with his dog, Tuna, and observed Chom Chom 's behaviors to make sure that she would be a good fit. Once we dropped chom chom off at Gus's, my anxiety of chom chom feeling scared disappeared as Gus effortlessly calmed my anxious dog down. We knew our pup was in good hands. Gus took chom chom to the dog beach for the first time and sent us photos and videos as updates (to appease my own separation anxiety ?). Gus took the time to help us train Chom chom to walk on the leash without pulling send is meeting with us for an hour consultation at our home to teach us skills in order to reinforce the good behaviors thay Gus has taught our pup. We will continue booking Gus for all of our trips from now on!
Gus did an outstanding job with our dogs. He was a true professional! He is a very skilled dog handler. I would highly recommend Gus!!
Gus watched our dog for the weekend. He provided us with updates and pictures. He took Ren out to the park, beach, and bike riding! We will definitely use Gus again if we're back in town.

Information Gus T. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know of any negative behaviors to watch for. I have no breed preferences. They are all dogs to me. I judge dogs by their energy, body language, and behavior, not breed. I'll be able to provide first aid and CPR in 2017.
A typical day
I like dog parks because socialization is very important to achieve a happy and balanced dog. I like going to the beach as well. I really enjoy biking and rollerblading dogs. Under my care, your dog will become part of my family and I will make sure his/her physical and psychological needs are met. I'm open minded and I'm very receptive to suggestions!
