My daughter and I are dog sitting for one reason - we flat out love dogs. Your dog will get days to remember or a vacation of a lifetime. Without getting too deep into my resume, here are some highlights: -Handled five police dogs. 1000's of deployments. -Master Trainer for the International Police Work Dog Association. -Developed and taught a unique dog safety program. Have presented the hands on program from everyone to 1000's of second graders to regional UPS drivers. -Recognized expert witness in court on dog tracking, aggression, training, and deployment. -Over 75 nationally published articles on dog obedience, housing, behavior, training, etc. -Tested, certified, and trained working dogs from nearly all 50 states and several countries. (I've had dog teams travel to my home from Montana, Florida, Michigan, , Iowa, etc for assistance). I do all this because I simply love interacting with dogs. The love has spread to my daughter who lives nearby and has been helping as needed for over a decade. I currently have a very fun, young, and goofy dog -- a Vizsla named "Kali." She clearly isn't a working dog and isn't a picture of obedience perfection. (I only mention this to let you know that despite my resume your dog doesn't have to be perfect and is coming into a very fun and loving household!). Kali typically will travel with me on my daily rounds. We've truly been a dog centered household for 30 years. My wife is a literal Saint! My private dog training rates, and I've turned down much more work than I've accepted, runs 10x the Rover.com rate we are charging.
