Pet care experience

I have been caring for the various dogs my wife and I have owned the past 30 years. I have trained 4 Labs to hunt, compete in AKC Field Trials and AKC Hunt Tests. I have also trained non-hunting breeds ( Basset Hound, Pug, Husky and various rescue dogs. The Labs were trained from puppies and the other dogs were trained as adults. I walk my 2 Labs everyday in all kinds of weather. I am experienced in training dogs leash work to all sized dogs. I am retiring from 29 years of teaching and will be available full-time on June 11th. Until then, I can be available 3:00-6:00 on various days. I would love to help dogs have fun and stay in shape. Thank You

Jeff Shearan has experience working with dogs for years, ever since I have known him. I have known him for over 15 years. He has given me tips on how to potty train my dog when things weren't going right, feedback on if my dog was overweight and what to do about it and advice on what items to purchase to keep an active dog busy. We have spent many hours sharing stories about the silly things our dogs do! I feel Jeff would make a great dog sitter. I know he plays with his own dogs, is dedicated to walk them daily to ensure they get the proper exercise, works on training them to hunt as often as he can and works with them on field trials in competitions. To Jeff, his dogs are part of his family, he gives them the love and attention they need constantly. His dogs go to the vet even for minor things to be checked out. I feel Jeff would act them; responsiblely, daringly and be disciplined to care for and walk any dog. With all his knowledge about a variety of dogs he has owned, trained and cared for, he would be an asset to your team.

I’ve known Jeff both personally and professionally for several years. Much to my delight, he volunteered to help me train my yellow lab, 3 years ago. Being a first-time dog owner I found his training knowledge, and his ability to adapt his skills to train both me and my lab extremely helpful. Jeff gave me the extra confidence I needed to teach important obedience, but he reminded me to Enjoy this work with my dog. I’m so pleased to know, Jeff, and I I am thankful that he took the time to help me become a more mindful dog owner. His direct and yet patient personality was then and is now, something that still draws me to Jeff. I know he will do well with anything he places an interest in, and I know he will do right by this company.

Any park by clients residence or parks by my residence. I also have access to acreage for dogs on leash or off leash. My dogs love going out there. I love to teach dogs to retrieve items that are appropriate for them, ( providing they can be off leash in a safe environment). I also love to take dogs to a lake to swim, with owners permission. Swimming is a great low impact exercise.
