I like to know about any food allergies, dietary restrictions, as well as medical histories, present and past medications. Breed specific issues can be important; for example, Frenchies’ propensity to overheat. Please let me know about any history of misbehavior ***especially aggression***. Potty accidents come with the territory. I understand that dogs will be dogs. And we all have our neuroses. A student of Cesar Milan and canine psychology, I’m adept at handling behavioral issues, however I do like to be aware in advance. [By student I mean I’ve watched the show and read all the books.] I’m extra careful with every dog in my care. Still, give me a heads up if your dog is a “runner” or “bolter”. Thank you!

Grateful to live in Florida, I frequently get to the beach for a walk at sunrise. If your dog likes people like I do, we enjoy taking walks downtown to see the sights, and be adored and complimented by tourists and townsfolk alike. One of my favorites activities is mixing it up and visiting all the local dog parks: Lake Woof Park just down the street, Dreher Dog Park and City Paws, the very quiet Mary Brandon Park in West Palm, the Lake Ida Dog Park in Delray, Pooch Pines Dog Park at Okeeheelee, and the Jupiter Dog Beach. We get around! If your kid is particularly restless or just energetic, I’m up to the challenge and happy to tire them out. In Fort Lauderdale, I had a reputation for running around in circles to rile up the crowd in the park. One of my clients said, “Ian I think you *are* a dog. You’re great for Wilson because you can match his energy.”
