Pet care experience

My name is Lyrics. I grew up with a family dog which we had 17 years, it was amazing then I had a service lab for 12 years that was my puppy, R.I.P. she had breast cancer and sadly left me in 2015. I now have one rescue pup and he's very well trained from private lessons and from myself. He eats Hills plus some snacks. He always goes to work with me, non barker. Before work we go to the dog beach for an hour and a half then another hour walk before bed. On the days off, we hike and go boarding, he has great balance on the paddle board. I love to train him in sign and spend time with him, I'm hoping my pup gets to be friends with your pups. I'm available everyday for walks before 930a and after 830p for cooler ground and drop ins everyday before 9a, between 2-5, and after 8p. My pups are always in Positive reinforcement training vs obedience school, I think positivity helps them grow. We praise the good acts vs punishing the bad acts. I am willing to give your puppies free service dog training, organic snacks, and of course cuddle them.

Lyrics was absolutely awesome taking care of my two dogs while I had to fly to Oahu. Communication was consistent and I felt comfortable leaving my older dog (who needed assistance) with Lyrics.

I have a fenced in private yard but as well I use the dog walking large sidewalks around town. In your home I would leash inside to bring outside for walks. I have no criminal or civil record and I do not mind if you want cameras on me in your home in common areas. I also do not mind training on camera. I take lots of photos too for the furparent to enjoy. I do bring my dog w me after dogs have met and feel comfortable with each other. He's service dog trained. I usually don't leave home w o him. I babysit at my pet store too that's right in town so your Pup doesn't have to sit home alone 75-5744 Ali‘i Dr ste145

Information Lyrics M. would like to know about your pet

Do they like other dogs is my main concern due to having a pup. He does go w me to house sittings, walks, etc. Other than that. I can spend time with any dog. My dog gets along with any dog, cat, caged pet. I do separate them and do a slow hour introduction which I do not mind to see how your dog reacts. I bring your dog in for 20 mins let them smell up the room then do the under the door meeting then in person or meet in a public domain. I also go with what your dog feels comfortable with. I want to make sure your dog is as comfortable in the situation. IF boarding does not work well with your dog due to high anxiety, it is best to do drop in visits, which I can make work too. It's best to do what the dogs are telling us for them to have a safe and fun experience. It is very unhealthy to take a dog out of their element without precautions and force them into a situation they are not prepared for. Drop in visits or house sitting sometimes is best for your dog. Although boarding is nice to have as an option, I only recommend that to people who have boarded their dog multiple times as well have been in doggy daycare for months to have a quick adjustment to change of environment. Please be HONEST bout your dogs behavior, age, and issues for safety of your pet! My dog does go w me so i want a safe environment for him as well. Thank you!

A typical day

I can go to the dog beach frequently. I can take them to the beach w permission of parent. My pup and I tend to do a lot of walks, we play tag, he loves snack time but what puppy doesn't, or we play ball together. I love hiking so any trail we can find, we shall go.
