Navy Vet with dog experience
Pet care experience
My experience with dogs comes from growing up with Rottweilers from my dad and training with them. As a US Navy veteran I was attached to a dog unit and was able to learn a lot from the dog handlers themselves (I was not a dog handler). I currently have a 96 pound Rottweiler and a 46 pound Dalmatian. My dogs are family members and not just pets and I will treat your dogs the same way. The most important thing I’ve learned with dogs is the need for routine and structure. Feeding at the same time, walking consistent or same time. Mental exercises and physical to release energy and avoid boredom. I can teach basic stuff like sit, come, paw, stay, heel, leave it. Believe it or not the more interaction your dogs get the more they will want it. They enjoy it. I appreciate the relationship between a human and a dog and I believe dogs are extremely capable animals given the right opportunity. I will not only walk your dog but I will interact with and try to stimulate his mind as well. If that results in your dog learning a few tricks so be it then all the better for everyone. Lastly, my prices reflect both my quality and my value for both my time and your animal. You can pay someone a few dollars and get your dog walked around the corner and wonder what else they do with your dogs or you can pay the right amount and see someone who takes care of your family member and genuinely interacts with them and give you peace of mind. Thank you.

Information John R. would like to know about your pet
Any medical allergies, behavior with other dogs. Potty routine( some dogs only poop on grass etc) and temper. Other than that I like to get to know the dogs on my own, how a dog acts with one person is totally different from another.
A typical day
I like taking dogs around the community for walks.Activities depend on dogs energy level, example my Rottweiler does not like to run or play he likes walks and pets, my Dalmatian likes to run and explore.
