Basic training and nutrition advice
Pet care experience
Let me start by saying I grew up with animals and I've spent my whole life loving and caring for them. I've worked with dogs, cats, birds, fish, reptiles and horses. I am well versed in Dog and Cat nutrition. I held a manager position in a holistic pet store for 3 years. I would be more than happy to consult with you about diet (allergies, gastrointestinal issues, shedding, etc.) I do basic training. I've taught my own and many other dogs to do a variety of tricks ranging from sitting and staying to balancing treats on the nose and crawling. I've also corrected bad behaviors including pulling, jumping on people, barking while on walks and general over-excitement. I promise to love and care for your animal as if they were my own.

Jesse is what I would call a dog whisperer! I had just about given up on being able to walk my dog without the fear of my arm being ripped out of its socket. I got Yankee as a rescue, a mutt of sorts- her demeanor is kind, she instantly became a great companion. However, everyday I tried to walk her it was almost like she was a different dog. I had received Jesse's information, was told he would work with her, and break her of her bad habits and fear of being walked. After just 2 short weeks my Yankee was acting like herself both off and on leash. Jesse was patient with her, and me. Kind to her, and overall was such a positive energy for my dog. I wish I still needed him to walk her, she definetley fell in love with their daily walks- However, I am glad to walk her on my own now- now running into him and his dog is simply a treat!
Jesse has been caring for our two Golden Retriever boys for the past two years. We were relieved to meet and get to know Jesse, given that it is so difficult to find a competent, honest professional with whom we can confidently entrust the care giving of our beloved dogs when we must travel for a few days, as well as when we find ourselves needing to be in the city and away from them for a long client day. Jesse not only works with integrity, he also has an impressive knowledge -- intellectual and intuitive -- about canine behavior and training. We are also impressed with Jesse's expertise in quality canine nutrition, including the best proteins for our particular breed of dogs, as well as superior health-enhancing nutritional supplements appropriate for our older boy and for our younger, teen pup. Jesse is kind, loving, and engaged with our dogs; they love him and are always excited to see him. Jesse is excellent, too, with calmly and capably setting limits with them when they need it. He has even taught them new canine "parlor tricks," which they very much enjoy learning and are mentally stimulated by. Jesse is patient and nonjudgmental with us, the human pack leaders, too. Jesse's love and respect for dogs is apparent. He is reliable, ethical, intelligent, insightful, and warm -- and also has a great sense of humor. You and your animal familiars are in excellent hands with Jesse.
