I'm "That guy with the black dogs"

Pet care experience

I have personally trained several dogs. My first trained dog was my Labradoodle whom I had for 14 years. I now have two full black German Shepards. One is still in training while the other is fully trained. Likely you've seen me walking my male dog without holding his leash, as he heeds to my commands.

I have known John for almost his entire life. Over the course of his life he has always taken a special interest in animal care. As a small child he received a dog for Christmas, Milo. Milo spent his entire life in the care of John until old age and Milo's passing. The bond that he shared with this animal was strong. John has had many pets over the course of his life that he has cared for. You can often see him in the community walking his current pets. Many of the conversations he has surrounds his animals as if he were talking about children. John has owned cats, dogs, and even reptiles. He has always made sure that they had adequate food, shelter, and care. You will often catch John at home watching TV with his dogs, or grilling in the backyard with them. John spends time exercising and walking in the community and if weather permitting his dogs are always right next to him. He would be an asset to the dog walking community.

John has always loved all animals big and small. John has had the responsibility to care for family horses, dogs, cats and a pet lizard, Lenny. He has a quietness to himself that translate very well to animals. He shows patience to all animals, even very difficult horses and dogs. I recommend him for this position.

Safety, trust & environment

My pets are fed two times a day and are not allowed to eat until they sit and are told, individually, that it is okay for them to do so. They have access to water at all times. Also I usually leave my back door open so they may come and go as they please from the house to the yard.

Information John L. would like to know about your pet

Any information regarding your dogs health or their physical needs would be nice to know so I can plan ahead of time. Also, if your dog has any weird quirks that may be misinterpreted, such as; barking at the wall for no reason or nibbling on the hand when it's thirsty.

A typical day

I like to walk through the park and around the town. I've walked everywhere in town and so know what areas are best to avoid. I like to take my dogs to play catch out at the park on special occasions, instead of just my back yard.

I am constantly spending time with my dogs and other animals. I walk my dogs almost everyday and on days that I don't, I spend my time in my yard playing with them.
