I have looked after dogs young and old since I was a kid and have 10 years of training guide dog puppies at home. I am comfortable handling big, medium and small-sized dogs and I'm good at adapting to individual dogs needs.

James is excellent with all animals but particularly dogs, which he has a natural gift for handling and training. He has looked after my own pet dog several times and she always looks forward to his arrival. He keeps her entertained but also lets her be when needed. He looked after her when she was sick once with great care and attention and I was so grateful. I highly recommend James!
