Golden Dad new to Gold Coast
Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Joe and I am a dog dad to a 4 year old golden retriever named Sonny and a 2 year old golden retriever named Nanni . My experiences with Sonny and Nanni have equipped me with so much love and appreciation for dogs that I find myself wanting to help with your pets! Sonny, Nanni, and I have taken extensive training together with an instructor through the Karen Pryor Clicker Academy. Sonny's and Nanni's responsiveness and growth through their training has opened my eyes and heart to the joy that is owning and caring for a dog. During the week, I work as an elementary school teacher in the near southwest suburbs, but find myself wanting to fill the extra time in my life with meaningful work. I come to you with a willingness to care for your pet as my own. I see the joy in Sonny and Nanni when they see old friends and value the impact my family and friends have on them. To provide your pet with that same care and comfort would be of the utmost fulfillment.
About Joe R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Training is a part of Sonny's and Nanni's everyday life - before and after feeding, going for walks, playtime, etc. I am an advocate of the Karen Pryor methodology but am willing to utilize whatever skills you've instilled in your pet to make the experience wonderful for all.
