Dog vacation while you vacation!

I have been a dog owner for 30 years but in the last 15 have been told I have a special gift. It seems that dogs are drawn to me and I have the ability to connect with them very quickly. Seeing each dog as a unique being and not as a breed is just one part. I make my own schedule and am very knowledgeable about dog psychology and the energy one needs to handle each dog. My dog Ginger is 10 and has a great energy. They will be leashed all all walks no matter what. I use a 25 ft lead and will tie your baby to Ginger giving them some more freedom at the beach without the risk of a deer chase. Otherwise its calm walks with them on what ever side you walk them on. Sitting on the couch is a calm action, we dont climb all over the couches here. I am very big on love and affection at the right times and will give your special one massages they will be begging you for when you go home.

Kurt is the most knowledgeable dog sitter and trainer I know with many years of experience. He can handle and understand behavioral challenges in dogs. Right now he is helping my foster dog Coda a Chesapeake Bay retriever and trains him on the leash. Thank you so much.

Kurt saved our Thanksgiving holiday by taking my daughter‘s dog Ava very short notice. He was very engaged and took excellent care of her. Thanks from all of us.

Safety, trust & environment

I always will walk them on a long lead and have alot of space where I live and am very close to the beach so we do beach walks as well.

Pets

A typical day

We will go on "mission walks" around the neighborhood as well as going to the dog park that is 1.75 miles from my house. They will be on a long lead at all times if I'm am not in a fenced in area. I'm very close to the beach so we'll do lots of fun beach walks

I would just like to know their overall demeanor and routine, otherwise I will evaluate in person. They really need to be fixed especiallyif male. Do they get along with others and have good manners
