Professional dog trainer(schooled)

Pet care experience

Best care for your dog + pictures! I have trained dogs of all breeds and temperaments as a professional dog trainer. I feel this is another way to introduce myself and help people who want their dog to have a home away from home. If you consider your dog high maintenance or a handful, don't worry about it. If you have had bad past experiences, welcome. My goal is to always have a structured routine so the dog can adapt to the schedule, develop a good relationship with the dog, and add any structure to the life of the dog and the owners if I can. A balanced dogs is friendly, playful, able to control themselves, listens when given a command, and likes to work for treats/toys. I see this as the ideal dog that people envision and I help people reach that goal.

A great experience for our pups and you can tell the true care Josh has for pups in his care. Will definitely be a return patron.

Josh was great - took excellent care of Zag and sent lots of fun pictures! Zag can be a bit of a challenge, but Josh was awesome with him. Very good communication before and during Zag’s stay. Will definitely board with Josh again!

Absolutely could not be happier with our experience with Josh! The daily pictures showed us just how much fun Charlie was having with Josh and how well he was being taken care of. I was a little nervous because Charlie is still in his wild puppy mode but Josh was incredible with him. It is clear he has a great deal of experience with dogs. I highly recommend Josh as a sitter.

Depending on the dog(s), kennels may be used for safety purposes or adjusting dog to schedule(bed time/nap time/dinner) friendly dogs obviously get the most freedom.
