Pet care experience

Local pal for your pooch

2 years ago I got my first dog, Taro, as a puppy of not even 2 months. Since then, I've immersed myself in dog training and constantly get compliments on how well-behaved my dog is. In the middle of the COVID pandemic I took some time while my classes were remote to learn and travel. One of such experiences was a 3 month stay in North Carolina with a family who had raised a number of award-winning, hunting dogs and had just adopted 2 new puppies for training. In that time I learned alot about dog obedience and good manners training. I believe my unique experiences with dogs the last nearly 2 years set me apart from a standard pet carer. I'm willing to walk dogs who have difficulties with pulling on the leash or jumping on strangers during walks. If given a regular schedule with your dog and your permission to use training treats I would be happy to help your dog improve on these problem behaviors. *Note* *I would not be bringing mine or any other client dogs on any scheduled client walks unless you give permission to. When Taro was a puppy I would sometimes take him on walks with well-behaved, older dogs to get him socialized to other dogs. If this is something you'd like me to work on with your dog that can be discussed*

Hugo is very good at understanding what the dog wants. Whether it be time for play, walk, or even bathroom. He has a natural connection to animals! He also does well with differentiating between when it's okay to play with the dog and when it's time to settle down. He is attentive and kind to both animals and people and I think he would do swimmingly as a pet sitter.

I cannot recommend Hugo enough. I've seen him care for his own pets and others- he is playful, responsible, and goes the extra mile to make sure his furry friends are well-loved. Your pet would be in good hands with Hugo!

Hugo is an amazing and trustworthy dog owner and caregiver. I watched him raise and train his own dog, Taro from being a puppy to a wonderful dog. I have also seen him caring for and watching many friends dogs, and he treats them all like his own. He is an extremely responsible and friendly person who will properly care for your furry friend.

Hugo has been walking my dog for over a year and I really can't say enough. They have formed a real bond and my dog has learned valuable skills throughout the time they have spent together. Hugo's communication with me has always been something I couldn't find anywhere else, and that's one reason I've trusted him for over a year. He really does take the time to talk to you about your pet and each level of need. For example, as a puppy when on a walk my dog used to pull, run away, and, sometimes even pull at peoples clothing. Now, I find that the behavior(s) have become something of the past. That progress has all been because of Hugo and the love he has put Into my dog's care and training. He has always mirrored what I've been teaching at home and has continuously gone above and beyond. Whether that be a photo or a video sent during their time together or something small like wishing him a Happy Birthday, you can tell Hugo really cares about your pet. I trust and value him wholeheartedly with my baby and I know he would do the same for someone else's too.

Do they: Pull on their leash. Jump on strangers during walks. Play nice with other dogs. Need to be kept away from sticks. Allow treat training during walks/stays. Have any health conditions that prevent rigorous uphill walks. Like belly rubs.
